  1. How often Sync Servers are updated


    Hi, I have a question... Anyone knows how often do Microsoft refresh the Sync Servers?


    Like, when I have 5 computers running windows 10 last built on my Microsoft Account with all the Sync options active and if I change the wallpaper on one of them, how long will it take to update to others and sync this wallpaper alteration?


    In my case this is 100% unpredictable. Sometimes it won't happen, rarely at the same same day and usually after you wait for weeks... Already tried everything on internet, it persists even with new computers...


    Thanks

    :)

  2. Unable to sync Windows 10 time with time servers

    I have a new, OEM installation of Windows 10 that is unable to contact any time servers to sync the system time. Each attempt gives me a timeout error, and pinging the time server times out as well. Here is what I've tried:

    • Checked that the Windows Time service is running and set to automatic startup, and restarted it
    • Disabled my firewall
    • Tried using time.nist.gov, which is currently working according to NIST
    • These steps using w32time, which appeared to succeed but didn't update the time

    The time is currently off by 7 hours, which shouldn't be far enough to break Internet syncing.

    EDIT: Just tried the same steps on my other computer which boots only Windows (albeit an longer-standing installation of 10), and had the exact same issue, except when I try syncing it simply says "An error occurred when Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.gov." So I highly doubt it is dual boot-related. What is going on?

    How often Sync Servers are updated

    Microsof account sync issue- error code 80070490 saying "We can't sync right now".

    I am trying to follow the suggestions above. I am here in your list of suggested steps:
    • If this account continues to fail to sync the next thing to do is tap the error you receive. You should now be on the screen where you can enter your password. At the very bottom of this screen try entering the following in the server name field, m.hotmail.com,
      blu-m.hotmail.com, bay-m.hotmail.com. After entering each, go and try to sync the account.
    There's no place to enter my password.

    There's...

    Microsoft Account Settings

    Account name - Hotmail

    User name

    Server eas.outlook.com

    Just so that I am clear, I am to change the server name to one of those in your response (above), one at a time, try to sync. If it doesn't sync, try the next one--correct?

    I will await your response.

    Thank you.
