Win 10 Users. No more Windows F'updates!

[SMcNeill]

or something...

I bought cheap Walmart Lenovo i3 Ideapad < $400. I had mistaken the opening Home Page (I guess thats what it is called) as my DeskTop like in Windows 10. It looks and acts just like it until you start trying the file Navigator. This Home Page is stored on OneDrive and when I copied my QB64 Folder to it and then QB64PE (or vice versa its been 4 months now) I had used up the 5 GB limit or very nearly, such that Outlook the email I use for some accts that requires Edge Browser links and my old email address... that (Outlook mail) apparently was stored under OneDrive too. So when OneDrive was loaded up or nearly so I could no longer use OutLook until I either subscribed for more space (they made easy to do) or I cleared out my OneDrive storage enough to allow me access (which was a nightmare to figure out). I was pissed and stymied for months because I didn't have time to figure out what the hell was going on. All I know is the opening screen in Windows 11 is NOT my DeskTop like it is in Windows 10. That denied access linked over to my old Windows 10 laptop as well until I finally frick'n figured out how to clear out the OneDrive apparently shared by both computers. 

Believe it or NOT!

Sounds to me like you hit the OneDrive limits.

Outlook gives you 15GB of storage, OneDrive only has 5. If you cloned the entire desktop on OneDrive and then put the QB64 folder on that desktop, you'd use up that 5GB fairly quickly the way it sounds. Normally you would put the folder in it's own directory and not directly on the desktop, and then just create a shortcut to it.

Where I bet you got hit with limits comes after that. Outlook only allows for minor attachments natively. (I forget exactly what the limit is as I'm not an outlook email user. 10mb? 20?) Anything beyond that small limit (such as a zipped up archive with some resource files), would tend to go to OneDrive to be stored and then linked to as an attachment.

When you hit that 5GB OneDrive limit, Outlook wouldn't accept anymore attachments and started yelling at you to upgrade/clear files.

^ That's about the only scenario I can imagine which comes close to what you're describing. Unless this was some time back and the limits were less then than what they are now. Like I say, I'm not an outlook user so I certainly haven't kept track of how their storage plans have changed over the ages. I can't imagine it was always 15GB though... particularly when outlook was first released in 95 or whatever the crap it was. LOL!
