Windows 10: settings synchronization not working ?!?!

here it is what i did.

- updated to w10
- configurated my account (theme, start, apps, etc...). the account is a microsoft account, it has been validated too.
- reinstalled w10 from usb, fresh install
- recreated the account
- logged with the same microsoft account, validated again.

now... settings, theme and apps hasn't been downloaded/updated. checking in ondrive i discovered the account isn't saving data (no folders, no devices backups).
why?! bug?! there's a method to force saving the data?!
thanks

:)

You mean the account synchronization settings? That was my case, too. I set to synchronize in 30 minutes and the reminder got back to work.

How did you set up the synchronization settings?



If you have "Synchronize new updates" ON it will always keep the connection open (so that "push" will work).



If you have "Timed synchronization" ON it will connect whenever it needs to according to your schedule settings.



If both are OFF then it should only connect manually when you request it..

 

I am having the same exact issue with both computers.
The odd thing is, it keeps updating my wallpaper to an old one, but I have no devices listed in my onedrive device manager

Both computers are listed as trusted devices, but neither are showing as being backed up.
Sync is turned on for both as well.

It's really annoying to have to change my wallpaper every time, but if this keeps up, I will just kill my outlook account and start again. I only made it for Windows 10 anyway

 

logged on OneDrive web. deleted all attached pcs. redone all the steps, still not working. to me its bugged...

 

did you use the Microsoft account with 8.1 too?! i just noticed that if i signin with my Microsoft account, previously use on w8.1 too, w10 downloads an app for my printer... i did not install it on w10 before... so could be a bug related to this

 

fresh install with newer iso... still not working

 

Is this any help?
No Start Menu and App Sync for Windows 10

Things do not sync now the same as they did in 8, start, auto download of apps, themes

 

thanks, i missed about deprecated sync options...anyway, settings and theme don't sync... so, to me, the sync features is completely useless with no apps syncing. app reinstall can take time...

 

I agree
It only seems to be the data between apps that now sync

I have a couple of devices that I now have to set up separately, with 8 it all synced between them *Sad
plus with a clean install you are left with the default look/feel

These options should have remained, IMO, so people could sync it all if they wanted
