People app not syncing google contacts


I have the release Windows 10. I have successfully linked my google account, and mail and calendar seem to work fine. But not the people (contacts) app. The account is listed in People, I can tell it to sync, get no error message, but no contacts arrive. Am I missing something?

 

Syncing People App

The People App is linked to the Mail App. In the Mail App you can choose the Sync properties of each Account (Mail, Calendar, Contacts).
It is slightly obscure as when you go to Account properties you have to go to > Change mailbox sync settings > toggle on those that are required to sync.
15 min is a Sync frequency you can choose.

Some Accounts may only have a Mail choice in there, Accounts like MS/Outlook Mail, Gmail etc have Calendar and Contacts as well.

Potentially it can get rather confusing.

I use a Local Account on the PCs and sign on to one of my Microsoft Accounts separately.
The People App itself is synced with one of those Microsoft/Outlook Mail Accounts.
I have 5 Accounts(3 Brands) in all that can potentially Sync Contacts(& Calendars).

 

Windows 10 people app not syncing properly.

I am using the people app in Windows 10 mobile and every time I go into the people app I can see contacts from my facebook account but nothing from my microsoft account.

However if I go into settings the part where my account is listed says "Attention Required" and when I try to sync it keeps failing.

The same account is working in my calendar app and other places, just not in the people app.

I've seen this on other forums as an actual issue but is there a fix?
