Ok, I went over your StreamFab.log and didn't find a hidden rotten tomato like I was hoping to find. I, even, did a direct comparison with my log, so I wouldn't miss anything. Nothing stood out. So, I broke out Google and entered Stop OneDrive Documents folder. It came up with basically one fix. It appears to be the same or near what October262 wrote about.
To stop OneDrive from syncing documents, you can try the following steps:
- Open OneDrive by clicking the cloud icon in the taskbar
- Click the gear icon in the top right corner
- Select Settings
- Open the Backup and sync tab
- Select Manage backup
- Toggle off the sync option for documents, pictures, and desktop
There are a few other tips, but they don't look any more likely than the one above. Load up Google and enter the same words and give them a try. The first thing I did when I got my Windows 10 computer was to remove OneDrive because I already had Amazon S3. I'm pretty happy with a month's worth of backups for 73 cents.

I understand, but it is not the OneDrive Documents folder I am trying to stop. If you select, in OneDrive, to have all of your Documents, Photos, etc... files to be automatically stored in OneDrive (cloud), then it creates a setting in the Windows environment that automatically puts anything that would normally be stored in the Documents folder to be redirected to the Documents folder of OneDrive. The issue is that this results in bandwidth usage every time StreamFab checks for an update.
Shockingly enough, it seems to have stopped creating the folder at random. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, reinstalled Windows, and all kinds of hacks over the year. None worked. Needless to say, there are a lot of apps that just use whatever Windows defaults to, and not what the user sets in the settings.
Thank you
@Cats4U and
@Germania for all the assistance. As said, it seems to have stopped recreating the folder/files, and I haven't even upgraded the software since I posted originally.
