Windows 10: Issues/Problems with enabling, then disabling Sync

Earlier this week I enabled Sync between my 2 computers, work and home, each using up to date Windows 10. When I realized that the functionality wasn't going to be that helpful plus I didn't like all my desktop icons shared between both computers, I disabled it - using the directions provided by Microsoft. Since then my work laptop has not been the same. My Chrome browser seems to work normally, but the desktop shifts back and forth between looking normal and having all the icons "whited-out", and I'm unable to open Word documents or move a document from one folder to another. It looks as though the computer is attempting to do what its supposed to do for example, the Word logo comes up as if its attempting to open but it never finishes. I've restarted my computer more than once. Nothing is changing. Please advise. I can't get anything done.

Crossfire sync problem

Hello

thank you for all the responses.

I enable vsync in the advanced tab of ccc but it doesn't help.

It's happening now in mass effect 2 which is unreal but it also happens in civilization 4 and pirates(an old game).

I don't think it's my display or a cable because when I don't enable crossfire I never have the problem.

My next step is to change the cards around to see if it's my linked card that's the problem.

Qubit is correct it looks like a video sync problem. Like when the traking is of on a VCR.

Keep the suggestions coming.

 

Email folders won't sync

Hi,

I suggest you to disable and re-enable the sync toggle under Sync Options and check if it helps.



To disable and re-enable the sync toggle under Sync Options please follow the steps below:

• 
  Go to Windows 10 Mail app.
  
• 
  Click on settings (Gear icon).
  
• 
  Go to Manage Accounts.
  
• 
  Click on the account you are facing issue with.
  
• 
  Go to Change mailbox sync settings.
  
• 
  Under Sync Options off and on all the toggles.
  

Hope this helps. Please get back to us if you need any further assistance.



Thank you.

 

Crossfire sync problem

Indeed, it's not the animation "tearing" problem that one sees with non-vsynced games like everyone here seems to think it is - the whole picture is rolling upwards instead. You're right that heat could potentially be the issue, as it can easily cause components to malfunction while hot - and eventually fail permanently.

I have two suggestions on top of my first one to you:

1 Increase the cooling to the PC. Literally take the side off the PC and have a standard room fan blowing on it. It's crude but effective for troubleshooting and your hot components will love the cooling they get. *Big Grin

2 Switch your cards around on the motherboard. Do not use the room fan while doing this, or you won't know whether it's the extra cooling or the switched cards which is helping. It's quite possible that the card you've connected the video cable to is beginning to fail from all that heat.

And lastly tell me, do you have a digital or analog video connection to your monitor?
