As far as removing OneDrive from Windows 10, this command removed it for me:
copy into notepad and save as OneDrive Uninstaller.cmd, then run it and it should remove Onedrive from Windows 10.
Removing all the Modern apps from Windows 10
Most power users already have programs that they like. Microsoft are pushing their apps instead, I find this unacceptable and they also removed the uninstall option for these apps that you had in the previous builds.
Just another person's example;
instead of Clock/Alarm app: I use my mobile Alarm app.
instead of Camera app: I use the app that comes with the camera.
instead of Photos app: I use ACDSee app.
instead of Music app: I use Winamp app.
instead of OneDrive app: I use Dropbox app.
instead of Search app: I use the own Windows Search.
instead of Video app: I use VLC app.
so go into Run Powershell as a admin and run this command;
get-appxpackage -allusers | remove-appxpackage
To get rid of the search box next to the Start Menu Button, just right click on the taskbar, go to search and pick either hidden or show search icon, Voila! The search box gone. You can still do the Windows Key and start typing and search will work like it has in the past.
Heres how to prevent automatic driver updates in Windows 10:
Navigate to Control Panel>System and click Advanced System Settings
Open the Hardware tab and click the Device Installation Settings button
Change the setting to No, let me choose what to do and then enable the option to Never install driver software from Windows Update
Click the Save Changes button at the bottom.
This was tested on a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Other versions of Windows 10 may work but YMMV.
Code:
@echo off
cls
set x86="%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe"
set x64="%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe"
echo Closing OneDrive process.
echo.
taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe > NUL 2>&1
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > NUL 2>&1
echo Uninstalling OneDrive.
echo.
if exist %x64% (
%x64% /uninstall
) else (
%x86% /uninstall
)
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > NUL 2>&1
echo Removing OneDrive leftovers.
echo.
rd "%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive" /Q /S > NUL 2>&1

rd "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft OneDrive" /Q /S > NUL 2>&1
echo Removeing OneDrive from the Explorer Side Panel.
echo.
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" /f > NUL 2>&1
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" /f > NUL 2>&1
