Hello everyone, I have just reinstalled W10 completly as it showed as
Unactivated and was crawling horibly.
The new Installation now shows as 'Digitally Activated''

Problem being;

'This PC/Documents' is pointing to 'C:\Users\Patri\OneDrive\Documents'
'This PC/Pictures is pointing to 'C:\Users\Patri\OneDrive\Pictures'
Please see; https://www.dropbox.com/s/wf6c9m10pu...oard0.jpg?dl=0

If I click on 'Restore Default' the entry changes to the required
location, BUT'
When I click 'OK' or 'Apply', I get (as expected) this;

Video & Music are in the correct location.


Apparently this bug has been around since Windows 8.

As the thread progresses, the answers get closer to where they should
be. Still not a convenient solution, by any stretch of the imagination.
Initially, someone uses account tricks to try and step around the
problem, switching login to a local user and then switching
back to an MSA. Some of the other methods attempt registry
based fixes.

What the Answers thread suggests, is this behavior works like
a "trap door". You can "move" a local user to MSA+OneDrive, but
if you then attempt to move them back, the two items
Documents and Pictures become "Access Denied" troublemakers.
