OneDrive, a cloud storage service offered by Microsoft, enables you to keep and reach your files from any location as long as you have an internet connection. Having OneDrive launch when your computer starts can be beneficial for making sure it is constantly operational and prepared to synchronize your documents.

In the Task Manager window, click on the “Startup” tab to view a list of all the programs that start automatically when you turn on your computer.
Step 3: Find OneDrive in the List

Step 4: Right-Click and Select “Enable”
Right-click on the OneDrive entry in the list and select “Enable” to add it to the startup programs. This will ensure that OneDrive starts automatically when you turn on your computer.
