Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

It is very easy to disable.

Even just disabling the service works.

    Why so drastic? Just disable it.
    
    Or break the program if you are so paranoid it will ever turn on.
