You misunderstood, you uninstall OneDrive then reinstall it, when I did this I did not have the
Personal Vault problem again as the vault was not active after that time. I think the
the problem arises once you activate the vault there is no way of deactivating it.,
get rid of this garbage feature! 95% of onedrive users probably never even touch it.
You tricked me into "trying it" and i cant get rid of it, if i unlink it just keeps pestering me to set it up
you guys are useless for customer support!
Someone else indicated they uninstalled OneDrive and then reinstalled it and Personal Vault was no longer enabled. This worked for me too. I have Windows 11 Home and it worked for me as well. My Personal Vault shows up but it is no longer enabled. I won't make the mistake of trying out Personal Vault ever again as it's difficult to get rid of it.
The best thing I have been able to do is unlink my computer from onedrive. I can leave it that way or partially install onedrive up to the point of installing the personal vault - just leave it hanging. That is how I have it now, I am waiting to see how that works and if it causes me any problems.
Update:
This solution is working for me since August 24, I have OneDrive with no continuous threats to not sync.
Been a Mac user for 5 years and bought a PC, the OneDrive app was so insistent to enable Personal Vault and now I get an exasperating message in red that Personal Vault hasn't finished syncing when I haven't copied anything to it. Since I want the message gone, I figured, easy, just delete it, but to my surprise, am not the only one with the same problem. Worst of all, after wasting so much time to look for a solution, there is no fix.
Shame on you MS for making your users hate you.
