    Forcibly Stop Windows Devices from Syncing When the Setting is Already Off


    So this may seem bizzare and insane but i have a laptop that has some kind of syncing thing happening to it? It seems like anything i do to my PC happens to my laptop, and anything that happens to my laptop also happens to my PC?The problem is that this process is, in practice, severely retarded by the fact that it doesn't seem to do any actual syncing. It just posts these bizarre and insane looking links that don't function in any practical sense of the word. I obviously don't want it to do anything stupid like that if it isn't actually able to sync anything then it should just............. n

    Cant sync settings in Windows 10

    Hi,

    To help you better please help us with the below information.

    • Did you make any recent software/hardware changes on your computer?
    • Have you signed in to your computer using Microsoft account?
    • Is the sync settings is greyed out in the settings Windows?
    As an initial step I would suggest you sign out of Microsoft account and sign in again, see if the issue is resolved.

    Also install all the pending updates on your system and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 User Account Settings Stopped Syncing Across Devices

    Hello Rafael, I hope you had a good holiday.

    I have performed the steps you suggested (again), and there is no change: user account and Windows 10 settings are not syncing, even after 12 hours.

    However, I now have some new information:

    In order to determine whether this issue was Windows-related or related to our Microsoft accounts, I performed the following test on several machines:

    • I added user profiles on affected computers tied to a different Microsoft account, one not associated with my main Microsoft account or part of my Microsoft Family Safety group.
    • On all of these devices, this account synced settings correctly, and right away (little delay).
    • However, on these same devices, my own account (and other accounts tied to my family),
      continued not to sync, as previously reported.

    Therefore, I now believe that this issue is not Windows-related, but specific to our Microsoft accounts. My son is tied to my Family Safety group, so I suspect this issue is affecting all of us.

    Is it possible that you can connect me with an escalation agent in Microsoft Account support to look into this further?

    Thank you.
