Windows 10: Windows 10 Sync Settings

Greetings,


I am having trouble with the Sync Settings option in Windows 10.


First I would like to delete any and all items that have been saved to the cloud regarding these settings as I have been having issues with it as I do not completely understand how it works or if it is working at all.


I am specifically interested in getting the desktop background slideshows and appearance theme settings to sync across all of my devices.


I have spent long hours with Microsoft Tech support and still can't seem to get this working correctly.


I have done complete clean installs of Windows 10 on all devices, all devices are signed into the same Microsoft Account.


Do I need to somehow designate one device as the "master" device that all other devices sync to? If so how do I do that?


I suppose if I have to I can once again do clean installs on all of my devices and once again attempt to start from scratch but I would really prefer not to do that.

:)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
