Windows 10: Sync issue with bookmarks between Win 10 machines

Hi, I'm having issues synchronizing bookmarks between my three win 10 systems - all of which I have logged in with my MS user account and all of which have onedrive installed. What I am seeing is that the machines are not syncing from the most recently updated machine. e.g. I made a change on the bookmarks bar to add a link and that change was not sync'd to my other machines. I made a followup post to a thread regarding settings sync and was given a suggestion to disable sync on the machines that I wanted to be sync'd with the "master" but doing this and then adding them back hasn't caused a sync of bookmarks to occur - at least not for the bookmarks bar. On the two machines to which I wanted bookmarks to be replicated I removed all bookmarks from the "bookmarks bar" folder after turning sync off. After turning it on I had thought that they would sync the bookmarks bar content back from the "master" but this hasn't happened. And yet I know that sync was working at one point because I had bookmarks in the bar on the master that came from the other systems.

The master is the most recently upgraded win 10 machine that I have and was upgraded from win 7. Incidentally, I've also noticed that the two other machines don't show the master on the "new tabs" page as a source for recent web pages. The master shows both of the other machines as a source for searches.

So, with all this background info, my question is: how can I "reset" the other systems and force them to reload all of the bookmarks from my master system? Or do I just give up and export the bookmarks from the master and import them to the other systems and hope sync works from that point on? *Smile

Thanks,

Syncing my Surface and PC since W10 arrived

Correct

incorrect. I get all my favourites on my phone, desktop and w10 virtual machine.

 

Favourite links keep reappearing after being deleted

Hi,

I have the same problem but with a twist.

I use two computers. A desktop and a laptop. Windows 10 and IE 11 on both. I actually want my bookmarks to be synchronised between my two machines, which basically means that I can never get rid of any existing favourites.

If I switch sync off on one machine and delete a few favourites and then activate sync again I guess the favourites who still exist on the other machine will get sync'ed back to the first machine.

Any suggestions?
