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

Anonymous

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What do you see if you try to access OneDrive from File Explorer? Are you prompted to sign in using your credentials?

    I got a screenshot of what I got after searching for 1 Drive with File Explorer.

    Somewhere in the folder list (the navigation pane on the far left), you should be able to find OneDrive as one of the locations.

    Also, your screen shot does not show the taskbar at the bottom of the Windows desktop. Is it not displayed on your system by default?

    I searched for One Drive twice. These are the results.

    I am not sure why you are not seeing OneDrive in the (expanded) list of items in File Explorer. Regardless of the settings you have chosen for File Explorer, OneDrive should be there. It is almost impossible to get rid of it (and you can't really get rid of it completely).
