    How to disable wallpaper sync?


    Hi all,

    I want to disable the wallpaper sync. Because I want different wallpapers on my copmuter and Laptop. I found on google where to disable it the settings but I can't change anything and I should contact the systemadmin. I am the Admin on both devices.

    Does someone has a solution? Thank you.

    How do I disable wallpaper syncing in Windows 10?

    That's correct, if you want to disable it, you have to disable the "theme" syncing (which disables wallpaper/screensaver/color sync).

    sync / wallpaper change

    Hi,

    Your current system may have downloaded an update that caused your wallpaper to revert to the previous one.

    Regarding your files, they will not automatically sync if you haven't set your account with OneDrive on your computer.

    We suggest that you change your wallpaper, then restart your computer. This will help us to further identify if there's an issue with your system.

    Regards.

    How to disable wallpaper sync?

    Synced Wallpapers

    So I had a work laptop that I created a wallpaper on that I really liked. This wallpaper was synced through out all of the machines that I logged into. I think switched jobs and no longer have access to the original file that I created this wallpaper from.
    Is there a way for me to save the synced wallpaper from the other machines that is is synced to?
