    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

    Hello

    So for about 3 months I've had support telling me this is a Apple issue, when in fact its just the latest version of OneDrive on my macOS 10.14: Mojave machine just won't open and run, so like others ive found an older version, in my case Version 23.071.0402, installed it and everything is fine until I restart my machine and it just auto updates and stops working again.

    Thank you MM for the above, OneDrive doesn't update anymore and is now stable.

    Microsoft - why the hell isn't there a tick box like on your other programs to not auto update ?

    Hi Blessing

    I already have this in place according to your instructions, yet I cannot stop Microsoft automatically updating One Drive, which I don't even use, and therefore don't update it myself.

    I update each programme in the 365 suite individually, the auto update is unchecked, but somehow One Drive and One Note (another programme I never use) always get themselves updated on the quiet, and the next time I look all the Microsoft suite are updated WITHOUT my permission...

    I'm puzzled by getting 'All programme are up to date' notification, when I haven't given permission, and have been ever since I started subscribing. Do you know if there is some other dialogue/selection that overrides the obvious (but ignored) choices I make regarding updates?

    For example - I'm updating some Microsoft software right now - the update dialogue box has now disappeared, although they aren't updated yet, but tomorrow I expect to see the 'All programmes up to date notification' again.
