Okay, after prepping for Thanksgiving and feeding everyone, I sat back down to take a look at "my problem." I have a Windows 10 Pro and a Windows 11 laptop. I first attempted the copy of my pictures to my Windows 11 pictures file. I thought that was reasonable. 1/2 way through the copy, everything went tits up. Both laptops started reporting disk full areas, you are out of storage, etc. The confusing part was my iPhone started doing it as well (but had nothing to do with the Windows issue). After taking a few days off, and looking carefully, the helpful induhviduals at Microsoft moved the Personal one drive folder to the tp of the Windows Explorer. So, if you are accustomed to using your desktop on Windows 10, you might not even notice the change. Digging a little deeper, what I read is Microsoft is making a major push for people to use their network storage solution and are more than willing to elephant with your desktop to misdirect you. Task 1: copy the photos from my phone to MY pictures folder on Windows 10. Done. Task 2: research how to remove this one drive crap from my Windows 11 machine. In progress. These are the sorts of changes that Ms*** like to push out and call it mandatory updates. What a joke.
