Windows 10: WIN 10 desktop Themes won't sync in all devices

Hello; I have a desktop pc, tablet & laptop all with MS WIN 10. In settings, accounts, I have Sync Settings turned On, themes, passwords & other WIN settings too, all turned On in all 3 devices. But the Themes won't sync; the desktop pc has the Winter Theme background now which I changed 2 weeks ago, but the tablet & laptop backgrounds still show the Fall Theme, I dbl-checked and both have sync On. Am I missing a step here? Thank you, Steven F.

Background and Theme won't Sync Between Surface Devices

Greetings, all!

I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7 and am trying to sync the background wallpaper and theme with a Surface Laptop 3 (both running Windows 10). It's been several days and the wallpaper/theme is still not in sync, however. Here is a chronological list of
steps taken in an attempt to resolve the issue:

1) Confirmed that I was logged into my Microsoft account on both devices

2) Toggled the "Sync settings" switch in "Settings->Sync your settings" off and back on for both devices

3) Restarted the SettingsSyncHost.exe process as suggested in this post

4) Waited 24 hours for changes to take effect

5) Confirmed that OneDrive sync was turned on for both devices

6) Closed and re-opened OneDrive to see if this would "kick-start" the sync process again

7) Waited 48 more hours for changes to take effect

8) Verified that the box for "Enable syncing Internet Explorer settings and data" was checked, as suggested in this
post

OneDrive sync appears to be fully functional - I put some test files in my Surface Laptop's OneDrive desktop and they promptly showed up in the OneDrive desktop on the Surface Pro. The only thing not syncing in the background and theme.

Is there a way to manually force a sync between the devices' themes, instead of waiting for OneDrive to do so at whatever time it so pleases?

Thanks for your assistance!

Win-10 themes keep changing

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

• Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?

As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

• Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
• Select Theme and select the Default theme.
• Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
  and save it and check.

Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
