Windows 10: Stop Syncing Apps From Store

Is there a setting somewhere I missed that tells each computer not to sync my apps from the store? I set up a new HTPC last night (late, so I may have missed the option), and it started downloading all of the Store apps I have on my laptop. I'd like to, if possible, keep each PC separate.

Or am I better suited just using a different Microsoft account?

How to disable notification to signin with Microsoft Account

I don't want to sign in with a Microsoft account. I have no need to sync apps or download from the store. I don't want to share OneDrive. How do I stop the annoying message?

Hi,

Thanks for the update on the issue.

Sync app licenses

If a license for an app is out of sync with the license installed on your PC, the app might stop working.

To sync your app licenses, follow these steps:

• 
  On the Start screen, tap or click Store to open the Windows Store.
  
• 
  Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
  
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click
  Settings.)
  
• 
  Tap or click App updates.
  
• 
  Tap or click Sync licenses.
  

If the issue persists,

Re-register the Store App and check.

a. Press “Windows Key” from the keyboard.

b. Type “Command Prompt” without quotes in the search box.

c. On the left pane, right click on the “Command Prompt” option and select “Run as Administrator”.



powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml



Hope this information helps.
