Windows 10: Win 10 and Edge Sync settings non-functional

On a fresh installed system, I am having problems getting Win10 and Edge to sync with my other PCs. I first became aware of the problem when I observed that Edge favorites were not syncing. Hadn't yet with this install in fact. I checked to make sure the proper setting was checked in Edge, and it was. I Googled it and found this page:


https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026735/microsoft-edge-sync-favorites-and-reading-list


It told me that Windows sync also had to be set for Edge sync to work. So I opened the appropriate settings window, and it just sat there for several minutes with the gear symbol displayed and then CTD'd. So I'm stuck with no way to change the setting, whatever it may be.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• Run the
  Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.
• Scan for damaged system files. Right-click the Start icon and select
  Command Prompt (Admin). In the Command Prompt window, type
  sfc /scannow and hit Enter.
• If Microsoft Edge only crashes after some time has passed, try deleting cached data and files. In Microsoft Edge, select the “…” icon in the top right corner and chooseSettings.
  Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear
  and thencached data and files.
• Reset the browser settings by going to Control Panel >Internet Options >
  Advanced > Reset. Then reboot Windows.
• Check for updates for Microsoft Edge within
  Settings.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Sync settings-Delete personal Settings from the Cloud?

Does that mean that even if Syncing is switched off in Account settings the Edge Favorites/Reading Lists will still be synced to the cloud.
Also, Ive noticed that I don't have an option anymore to turn off Internet Explorer favorites Syncing under Account/Sync Your Settings. Internet Explorer used to be listed there and Syncing could be turned on and off with a toggle.
There are times when cloud data corruption can mess up Syncing your favorites lists in Edge and Internet Explorer (duplicate entries etc) so you would need to stop them automatically syncing back to your account by disabling Syncing initially while you sorted your favorites out and turning syncing back on again.
How do you do that firstly in the Edge browser and also in Internet Exporer if required?
