    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Microsoft now wants you to explain exactly why you’re attempting to close its OneDrive for Windows app before it allows you to do so.

    Neowin has spotted that the latest update to OneDrive now includes an annoying dialog box that asks you to select the reason why you’re closing the app every single time you attempt to close OneDrive from the taskbar.

    Microsoft has been pushing OneDrive in Windows for years, with it taking over the Documents and Pictures libraries in Windows 11 by default to sync files to Microsoft’s cloud-powered storage.

    This new behavior follows years of Microsoft’s demanding Edge prompts that appear if you dare to download Chrome or change your default browser.

    Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.

    If you want to avoid this latest OneDrive nonsense, then feel free to open Task Manager, search for Microsoft OneDrive, and end that task the old-school way.
