    Windows 10 won't stop syncing


    I am setting up a new laptop. I have tried everything I understand to turn off windows syncing. Older laptop, we will call "A" and new one will call "B."

    Laptop A being the main unit has all the programs. Laptop B I don't want the same programs. However, Laptop B has icons with no destination or programs and every time I remove them, this causes Laptop A's programs to end up in the recycling bin.

    Blue tooth is off.
    Sync is off.

    On laptop B I created a new account for it, and it is still doing it.

    Right about now, I absolutely hate windows. :

    :)

    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

    Windows 10 - Time won't sync

    Hi,

    I have issues with time sync on my Windows 10 machine.

    I'm getting timeout error in internet time settings when I try to sync my time manually, and my clock is getting two minutes ahead.

    I tried every single time server in the world, but it won't sync my time at all.

    I also performed these steps:

    1. Tried to stop and start Windows Time service in services.msc

    2. Tried to use different time servers.

    3. Tried to re register Windows Time service using command prompt, and these commands:

    w32tm /debug /disable
    w32tm /unregister
    w32tm /register
    net start w32time

    4. Tried to turn off my firewall and all other security software

    5. Tried to re register DLL file with this command using command prompt: regsvr32 w32time.dll

    6. Tried to change my region

    And the most strange thing is that this issue is affecting all the machines in my town. I tried to contact several friends and neighbors, and all of them have this same issue with their Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 machines.

    I'm also getting this error in Event Viewer:
