Hi guys. I recently reinstalled Windows 11, and am having an issue with my Trainer folder, and OneDrive. I disabled OneDrive sync, and added folder exclusion in Windows Security. For some reason, the path still says "C:\Users\"Username"\OneDrive\Documents\My Trainers". Should I be concerned about this, and or is there a fix so I can use that directory in the "Documents" directory? Am trying to get exclusions setup correctly for older Trainers and Aurora. If it matters any, I switched to computer local account. Thoughts and help greatly appreciated 🙂

if you manually go to that location starting from the C drive and it has all your files that would be the correct location. usually when onedrive is used it changes the documents, desktop pictures and videos folder to onedrive folders. if you dont want that I would suggst resetting the computer and on setup to say you want to keep your files locally

Yeh, I have seen this type of behavior before with One Drive and the My Documents folder. I personally would recommend using a folder on your C: drive like C:\Trainers or something versus in your documents folder since One Drive tries to integrate itself with it. Maybe someone else has more insight into the issue.

I finally got it figured out, but I really don't know what I did or how I did it as far as that OneDrive crap goes. Anyway, what do I need to set for exclusions in Windows Security for older Trainers, as well as for when using Aurora? Thoughts and help appreciated 🙂

The issue is not the path. The issue is that OneDrive as soon as a file gets created or modified, tries to sync this file. The file becomes locked and Aurora / TM cannot access it.
