    Why my windows 10 Sync your settings is not gray out when I am using a local account?


    I am using a local windows 10 account not an microsoft accountAnd I remember the Sync your settings page will be grayed out and will show red words saying something sync can only be used on microsoft account. But today when I go to sync your setting page, it is not gray out. So what is it syncing??? I mean how can local account have sync settings????

    :)

  2. 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

    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

    Why my windows 10 Sync your settings is not gray out when I am using a local account?

    Microsoft account and deleting all settings of Windows 10 Preview


    Ok.

    If, instead, when I install a Windows 10 system, I create a local account and configure it and then turned it into a Microsoft account. At this point, how can I avoid that the settings are synchronized automatically when I finish this step and to synchronize the new settings that I had already set when I had the local account?

    Thanks

    Bye
