    Hello,

    Same problem. So I reinstalled v23.054.0313.

    Then, after installation, I immediately stopped the processes :

    $ launchctl remove com.microsoft.OneDriveStandaloneUpdater
    
    $ sudo launchctl remove com.microsoft.OneDriveStandaloneUpdaterDaemon
    
    $ sudo launchctl remove com.microsoft.OneDriveUpdaterDaemon
    

    And deleted the corresponding .plist :

    $ sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.OneDriveStandaloneUpdater.plist
    
    $ sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.OneDriveStandaloneUpdaterDaemon.plist
    
    $ sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.OneDriveUpdaterDaemon.plist
    

    Seems to work.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    I have the same problem.

    Version 23.054.0313 is working fine but the versions thereafter (23.061.0319 and 23.066.0326) not.

    When will this be fixed?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Roland

    Which then gets immidiately updated again...?

    Are there any updates on this issue yet? We are unable to use OneDrive because even reverting back to 23.054.0313 results in an immediate update to the 23.061 and then the app doesn't open. Thank you for working so hard to get this resolved for all of us out here!

    "However, if you still wish to avoid updating the app, you could try uninstalling it and then reinstalling an older version of the app that you prefer. Keep in mind that this might compromise the stability and security of the app."

    Which then gets immidiately updated again...?

    I know that OneDrive is no longer supported on Catalina, but pushing an update, which makes it impossible to use it, and not having a switch to turn of the update..? The version 23.054.0313 would work fine, but gets updated after a few hours or even minutes.

    Thanks I guess?

    Hello Mile, thanks for coming into forums.

    Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to disable automatic updates for the OneDrive app on MacOS High Sierra. Updating the app ensures that you have the latest features and bug fixes and is usually recommended.

    However, if you still wish to avoid updating the app, you could try uninstalling it and then reinstalling an older version of the app that you prefer. Keep in mind that this might compromise the stability and security of the app.

    Hope this info helps.

    Warm Regards, Myk
