Hello, so just fast resuming, i've already deleted the Onedrive from Components, using the pro version btw, deleted the traces in SysWOW64, WinSxS too, deleted the folder, and sometimes depending on the iso (im using 1803) there's onedrive on appdata, but im not seeing it and everytime i test the install in a VM onedrive is still there, legit been trough every folder and deleted everything, already deleted all of his traces and its still there.


And other thing already manage to work out the oobe settings, but now everytime i install in VM i choose the user etc etc and if i restart the pc after setup, it says that i have to manually write the name of the user and password, i think the oobe settings are correct but cant manage to figure these 2 things out.

i'll leave the preset here just in case.

toomuchpie Why you removing whole RUN key?
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]


You should remove only OneDrive value.
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"OneDrive"=-
 
That was the solution I came up with when I wanted to get rid of it. I don't recall seeing anything I actually wanted in there at the time. Incidentally, I don't think I've ever seen that meet now widget either with this removed. It's all junk as far as I'm concerned. I figured that if anything important actually needed to be placed there, it would just be re-created.

However, I do recognize that you're right about only removing the OneDrive value, especially when pertaining to this thread, which is asking specifically about that. I didn't do that because I don't have a build of Windows 10 that I can readily reference to get the exact value needed (because it's already removed), and I couldn't be bothered to install an unmodified copy that has that value to answer this thread, especially when I already had a working solution. And so I answered with the solution I had, knowing that I had been using it for a long time and had not run into any issues.
 
I use the following script .cmd inside the 7z file (run as administrator)

before running the script you need to:
1) through the icon in the taskbar disable all the automatic start options
2) close Onedrive, using the icon in the taskbar
3) run the script - run as administrator

Is there any noticeable problems when removing the whole value, i just want to get rid of it, and just asking, any of you know how to fix the user manually needing to write the user and password, not just simply entering the profile

You didn't direct it at me, but I'm the one who provided the solution and I did already say in my second reply that I had not run into any issues. If anything, it's been beneficial, because I never saw the Meet Now widget, even before the option was introduced to remove it in NTLite. It was probably the removal of that key that got rid of that too, although that's just conjecture without actually looking at the values in that key.

And I'm not sure what you mean by the second part. If you have a single user and that user doesn't have a password, it should automatically load into that profile. If you have more than one user, or if your user has a password, then it should load up to the login screen.

If you only have a single user without a password and it's still not automatically loading into the profile automatically on startup, then something is wrong. There's a workaround you can use to get past it by opening the Running "control userpasswords2". From there, uncheck the box that Users must enter a user name and password to use the computer, and it will allow you to put in a username and password that it will automatically try to use to log into the account on start up.
 
Not that, but last day i integrated both regs in different isos, and both didnt stop onedrive from starting up, ive already deleted Onedrive traces from Startup Menu folder, sys32, winSxS and SysWOW64, and it still loggs in, even with the regs
 
The user "bug" is, when installing the ISO i create the account, dont put password just the name, the windows installs etc etc and if i restart the pc, next time i log in to windows i need to manually right the username, basically the other User menu screen, all OOBE settings are correct i dont see why this happens
 
WU will force OneDrive installer to your system, even if you removed 'onedrive' component. To block this, add one line to HOSTS:
Code: 
127.0.0.1 oneclient.sfx.ms
