Save your files to This PC by default in Windows 10

Have you ever created a new file, edit photo or video then save it to Documents or Pictures and then when you looked for it you can't find the thing you just did.  It is frustrating.  After spending a lot of time looking for it, you find that is was saved to OneDrvie.  Windows 10 saved it there by default.  OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage.  OneDrive is great for sharing files between your phone and computer or computers but I really don't want files I create saved there but default.

Luckily, you can change that but Microsoft didn't make it easy or obvious.  Here is how you change it  so you and save files to your PC instead of the cloud.

1.  In the notification area at the bottom right of your desktop you can find the OneDrive Icon you may have to click on the "^", as I did here.

Now Right Click on the OneDrive Icon.

2.  When the following window appears click on "Settings"

3. Select the "Auto Save" Folder

4.  Click on the drop down boxes and select "This PC only." for both Documents and Pictures

Now when you create your document or edit a picture or video it will save to your computer.
