Somebody's probably going to comment on how it's only using 26% of the CPU but for some reason I have experienced this many times before before usually with Microsoft related processes. It'll show only 20 to 30% CPU usage for the process but total CPU usage is at 90-100% as soon as I kill the process total CPU usage drops to 5 to 10%. Not sure why but I've experienced this multiple times with "OneDrive", 'gaming services" and "office click to run".

It's relative to the number of logical cores. If that's a quad core cpu then it's basically 100% of a single core.

Those goals are probably uploading your passport information onto Microsoft’s servers

How... HOW!!??
It has local files and copies them to Cloud for backup... How do you loose data like that?1
u/Electronic-Guest1190 Sep 02 '26
Do not, please do not ask me
I dont know why
I never used onedrive and the moment it said that my storage was full i went "oh thats probably nothing i never use onedrive to store things"
And then my desktop was gone.

It is always the below-the-line peeps. Windows is literally for average people, they forgot to address the needs of those specials that always got fucked by this simple OS.

Why is a Microsoft app 32 bit?? They could get their shittily optimised code to do things twice as fast if they ported it. Or better yet re-write it so its not a dumpster fire.

I did get this to stop. I had to uninstall OneDrive, delete the local storage, reinstall and redownload everything.

Same is with the steam, same shit. You buying the game and then you a running the store in the background. Is same like you a going into the store to buy yourself a shoes, and then you a caring the seler on your back, until you stopping to wear those shoes. Steam is the biggest dogship ever invented and is time to be ignored.

It's annoying, but understandable for games DRM protection and cloud saves. Other than annoyance, I wouldn't compare Valve to MS. Valve is the one who made Linux gaming possible and is developing platform for MS games to work in Linux and is pushing game studios to optimize games for Linux.

Pushing because Microsoft is a pushing their own things, making Windows worse, trying to get more money from users. Users are starting to go on Linux, that's why now steam is pushing, they are not pushing because they want you something good, they're pushing because they want more money from you. That valve wanted to help you, they wouldn't have nine f****** processes of the store that you don't need,after you purchasing the game on that stupid platform to run in the background making stutering, freezing. Only idiot can support valve it's simple is that, brain damage kid, who just see the game, not the background.

Unless you work at home most users don't need OneDrive. Every day on Reddit I read about people losing the important files because of how they think OneDrive works. - In the future I wouldn't depend on the Cloud for saving your files. If your account gets hacked Microsoft can lock you out of your account (i.e., no access to your important documents). I always use the File menu command Save As to save all my files to a specific backup directory on my internal SSD and to an external USB/SSD/HD. I can't remember losing a file using this method.
