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

 

School account not interfering with my inability to sync settings

Hi,

This issue with syncing settings may happen if your computer is still connected to a domain.

Since you said that you've contacted the administrator already, we'd like to know what are the steps that they've performed or the troubleshooting steps that took place.

Also, we'd like to ask if the Sync settings option is available or grayed out in
Settings:

• Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
• Click Accounts.
• Select Sync your settings.
• Check if Sync settings option is available.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

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
