Are you on an older build of Windows or are you not using a Microsoft account to log in? On new installs by default, your documents folder is in one drive.
Like, instead of C:\users\YourUser\Documents, your documents folder is c:\users\youruser\OneDrive\documents.
3 are old laptops, 2 of which are updated to current windows 10, one is on a crusty windows 10 because of hardware problems. My main desktop got a perfectly fresh windows install when I got it October of last year. All are fully signed in to Microsoft and have access to my one drive. Did I just like roll the roulette wheel of hitting every random edge case where onedrive makes it's own separate folders or something?
Well I’m not exactly sure which build of Windows 10 or Windows 11 this began, but I do know that this is now the norm, especially on Windows 11 which is what comes installed when somebody buys a windows computer. Or installs windows on a built computer if they don’t specifically have a reason to install 10.
I’ve found forum posts about this issue dating back to 2019. It’s really annoying too because you can’t move the Documents folder out of One Drive without editing the registry.
Windows 11 seems to have converted to everything is one drive whether you sign up or not for it.
I guess I'm just lucky then. The laptops are all old enough that they wouldn't have gotten hit with factory onedrive settings, 2 were windows 8.1 upgrades and one was an early windows 10 (before the creator update, or whatever that refresh was). And my desktop was just a clean installation from the Microsoft create boot media tool.
