    When Microsoft account.

    Notes
    • Sync settings also works if you sign in with a work or school account linked to your Microsoft account.
    • If Sync settings isn't available on your device, your organization might not allow it.
    The settings you choose to sync are also saved in OneDrive (cloud).

    You can choose to sync your theme, passwords, language preferences, Ease of Access, and Other Windows settings settings. If you turn on Other Windows settings, Windows syncs some device settings (for things like printers and mouse options), File Explorer settings, and notification preferences. For a complete list of settings that Windows can sync, see Windows 10 roaming settings reference.
    • Theme - desktop background, user tile, taskbar position, etc.
    • Passwords - Windows credential manager, including Wi-Fi profiles
    • Language Preferences - spelling dictionary, system language settings
    • Ease of Access - Narrator, On-screen keyboard, Magnifier
    • Other Windows Settings - see Windows Settings details
    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the ability to turn on sync your settings for all Microsoft accounts on your Windows 10 PC.

    *Warning You must be signed in as an administrator to enable or disable sync your settings.

  6. Intel EIST disabled/enabled

    But what if I hate screen tearing? :/
    And sadly there are noticeable fps drops even with disabled V-Sync (for example from 120 to 70).
    I think it's a simple software setting (but what?) or maybe some kind of hardware failure.
