    Reset Microsoft Account data, sync settings... everything back to a brand new state without...


    Quick question, it's not possible to make Microsoft completely reset all data such as all Edge settings, all Windows customisation settings, theme personalise sync settings etc.?Would be really neat having a clean sheet without deleting the actual account. Let me know if possible.Thanks in advance.

    Microsoft Account not syncing WP8.1

    Hi Michael,

    We suggest that you manually sync your Microsoft account by following these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Tap email + accounts.
    • Tap and hold your Microsoft account.
    • Tap sync.

    Check also if you have the correct date and time set on your phone.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards.

    Turn On or Off Sync Settings for Microsoft Account in Windows 10


    Looking at the picture 4 of the step 4 of this link http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadF...in-windows-10/ , I noticed that the window for data synchronization, which lets choose which data to sync, is never displayed when I step from a local to Microsoft account.

    Why this window does not appear?

    Thanks

    Bye

    Account Settings will not sync - Windows 10

    My account settings will not sync with my new laptop.

    I used a suggestion from
    another forum     where I created an account, then changed it to a Local and back to a Microsoft account and it still did not fix my issues. However, it did remove the error message stating "Sync is not available for your account. Contact a system administrator
    to fix this issue."

    I ran the Account Troubleshooter, and the "Problems Found" were:

    • Can't connect to the sync service
    • Rootcauses found and created logs, and
    • Some settings have sync turned off
