Windows 10: STOP COMPUTERS FROM SYNCHING

I have a PC at home which I use for all my personal work, and a PC at the office which is, of course, for work-related stuff.


However, these two machines have started synching, and it's driving me crazy! If I make any changes to the desktop on my office machine, those changes are also automatically made to my home computer. AAARGH!


I have tried to stop them from synching, but this error message appears under Settings/Accounts/Sync: "Sync is not available for your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this." I am the "system administrator" for both computers!


I have tried to resolve the issue using the Registry Editor, but that has not helped. Can anyone please help me fix this issue?


Thanks much!

Stop synching files

OneDrive is synching files that I do not want synched. I cannot stop the process. When I choose to eliminate a folder (e.g., "Desktop") from synching, I get an an error message says that the synching can't be stopped because the files are not done synching.
The only thing that stops the synching is OneDrive filling up and it says I have no space. I delete the unwanted files from OneDrive, making space. Then when I start the computer it starts synching the files again. What do I have to do to stop this unwanted
synching?

Can't stop large Outlook 2016 files from synching with OneDrive

Hi There,
I have 17 large outlook 2016 files ranging from 1GB to 10 GB. I initially put them into my OneDrive folder and identified them for synching. Bad mistake because it takes days to upload files of this size and every time that I start Outlook, the Synch for all files restart from zero because the files all open when Outlook starts.
So, I thought I would remove them from the Synch and got the attached error.



Basically it seems to being saying that I can't remove them from the Synch until they have fully uploaded which isn't possible as it would take a week for that to happen.
Help please?
Thanks
Paul
