Sounds like a weird behavior, are you using Microsoft account for sign-in? Maybe that somehow triggers enabling sync back. Switch to local account if you do not want any benefits MS account gives.
That OneDrive feature is called Known Folder Move and it can be easily disabled. In theory it's a great feature for most, but I dislike it as well.
I have OneDrive disabled and have never seen it restart automatically.
I have like 10 machines at 5 different locations. In order to share my 365 subscription across multiple machines, I have to have them signed into a Microsoft account. I need excel and ms access working on all my machines.
It’s happen twice since I implemented windows 11, both times after major windows updates.
Not too much trouble to re disable one drive and switch everything back to normal but it breaks a bunch of stuff for me when it happens.
