I do not have an active Microsoft Office and so can't change defaults there and even if I could I don't see how that would affect the existing files. My onedrive.com acct is 92% full and not getting fuller even though I have thousands of files that are statused as syncing. My computer starting acting 'funny' after the update, slower, some objects reappeared after deletion (though that has now stopped). Our streaming on other devices has had sporadic problems.
