Windows 10: Adding microsoft account on new windows laptop to sync info for microsoft edge and other apps

Hi,I have just bought a Surface Pro 7 and am trying to add my Microsoft account from another laptop so I can have all my info on this new laptop, like Microsoft edge passwords, favourites, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot login to my Microsoft Google account - after inputting my email and password I get an error message "We couldn't find your settings. Error code: 0x80070490". A similar problem occurs when I try login with my work Office 365 account. For clarity, I am trying the account login in the 'Email & accounts' section in 'Settings' on my laptop.Does anyone know what I could do to fix

:)

 

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]

Microsoft Edge did not sync bookmarks.

Recently, my laptop got broken and I had to reinstall windows. After reinstalling the windows and signing in to my live (live.com) account, all the settings were synced except for Microsoft Edge bookmarks and reading list.

I had a long list of bookmarks and links in the reading list. Now, I am without anything. I have checked the sync settings. They are turned on in both the settings windows app and in Microsoft Edge. It has been 3 days since I installed the new windows.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards!
