How did my Save As page change? (Word, Windows 10)

Since I got my computer years ago, when I clicked "Save As", my Desktop and recently used folders were the list of options. The past 3 - 4 days, instead of the usual locations, it's One Drive.

I DID NOT change things so how did this happen and how can I change it back. It is a true pain in my butt to have to click a bunch of stuff just to get to my Desktop.!

Every time Windows updates, something I didn't want to happen, happens. The ONLY other time this happened was back when Microsoft sabotages Windows XP. Seriously wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Once again, I will try but it will take a while. I haven't had power for 5 days due to a wildfire that's 48,000 acres and actively growing. I lucked out and am at a friends who has a generator and wifi.

    I followed your instructions but after clicking on Step 4 - Click 'change where new content is saved', all there was as options was Local Disc C. No drop down box to choose where on local disc C they should go! OMG...what do I do now?

    Ok, so I simply cannot find where my one drive settings are so I can un-sync it from everything and fix my "Save As' issue. Can you help me find them?

    Yes I did. I looked everywhere for what it said and couldn't complete it because I couldn't find it.
