Default What is the Guidance re: Windows 11 / Pro Tools Install Folders?

Pro Tools Studio 2022.12
Windows 11 Home
Version 22H2
OS build 22621.963


I'm searching but I'm not finding any guidance on Windows 11 (22H2) setup re: Microsoft account login vs. local account login, as regards Pro Tools...

I wouldn't knowingly have installed Pro Tools into a cloud-synchronized folder, but I didn't fully appreciate that Windows 11 (22H2) integrates OneDrive in such a way that it seemingly takes over the local Documents folder...

Now it seems that no matter what I do, including re-installs, setting Pro Tools preferences for file paths, I can't keep Pro Tools activity out of the OneDrive folder paths...
Just now, despite everything seemingly installed and file path preferences set to Local path (and folder set to NOT back up):

Code:
C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Pro Tools
…when I went to download PT Cloud Collaboration Projects, it put them here:

Code:
C:\Users\myusername\OneDrive\Documents\Pro Tools\Project Cache
