Windows 11 gets an accidental OneDrive Photos rollout, with no simple uninstall yet

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft confirmed it briefly rolled out a new OneDrive Photos experience to Windows 11 beyond its intended scope, including on enterprise PCs where it isn’t supported. The app is tied to the OneDrive sync client and cannot be removed independently right now; Microsoft says a future update will let users remove just the Photos experience without uninstalling OneDrive. For now, the workaround is to remove OneDrive entirely (which also removes Photos), and IT admins are pressuring Microsoft as they await a targeted fix that would also remove the feature from Intune-managed devices.
