Windows 10: How not to sync taskbar position ?

Good morning all,

I use my same Microsoft account on my Laptop and SurfaceGo and am also using the sync feature.

On the laptop I prefer the taskbar at the bottom (am using a mouse on this device) but on the SurfaceGo I prefer to have it on the right side (I hold the touch pen in my right hand). But they sync feature messes this up.

Is there a way around this without disabling tons of other sync features ?

Thanks

:)

 

How to prevent windows 10 from syncing taskbar position?

What I find even more frustrating is:

• Taskbar position syncing is super fast (almost instant), yet IE settings (bookmarks sorting, favorites bar items, etc.) is slow or doesn't sync at all.
• Common Start Menu apps between machines aren't sync'd. I spent a great deal of time organizing the Start Menu on my Surface Pro 4 and ****-U-MEd those settings would be synced to my laptop. MS may need to rethink the philosophy behind removing it in Win10,
  because it is a tedious time investment to organize the start menu and not have it "at least" sync common apps.
