One drive keeps putting up a dialog box to unlock personal vault. I want it to go away permanently.

    Greetings!

    This is Tin, I'll do my best to help. You're not alone. I had that issue before.

    Please try to follow the steps below:

    1. Please click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar then click the gear icon and select Settings. Please find for a Personal Vault tab and if you see Disable Personal Vault, kindly select it and follow the instructions.
    2. Click the OneDrive cloud icon, please open Settings and look for Notifications. Please turn off notifications for events you don't want.

    Thank you,

    Tin

    I disabled personal vault and Onedrive on my Mac doesn't bother me. bit Onedrive Windows puts up a red dialog box asking me to enable personal vault.
