Microsoft Word forcing you to save new files to the cloud? Heres how to stop it

▤ Summary

Microsoft is changing Word so new documents save to OneDrive by default and AutoSave turns on automatically. The rollout targets Windows Insiders first and pushes users toward cloud-first document creation. Users who prefer local storage can change settings in OneDrive and Microsoft 365 to keep files on their hard drive instead. The update reinforces Microsoft's broader strategy of steering Office workflows into the cloud.
