How do I remove the Skydrive app from Windows 8.1?
It seems to come pre-installed with Windows 8.1 but lately the only thing it does is crashing every 20 minutes which of course is a bit annoying.

This statement causes the issue:
assert(_pServerRefreshState.get() != nullptr)
So there is an issue with the connection to the server. Make sure that app can connect to the Internet.
You should also report it in the MS forums (Technet, Answers), so that the Windows team can fix it if your PC works fine and has proper Internet Access.
You use a group policy to disable it.
All you need to do is to run gpedit.msc and go to the following path:
Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\SkyDrive
Enable the “Prevent the usage of SkyDrive for file storage” policy setting and wait a couple of minutes.
You won’t be able to access your SkyDrive files from the SkyDrive app. The SkyDrive node will go away from the Explorer left navigation pane and File syncing
will stop.
You can also do the following:
Under 'Save files by default to Skydrive'
Drag the knob to the left to turn it off
