I'm having Windows sync issues that seem to be tied to my Microsoft Account. I've read a number of support articles and followed troubleshooting steps that lead me to believe it may be an issue with my Microsoft Account. The problems are:. Windows settings do not sync. Favorites/bookmarks, Reading List, and passwords do not sync in Edge. I have tried to disconnect other services from my account (LinkedIn and Twitter) but I still have some of those contacts appear on some devices, and they cannot be deleted (I would like these services/accounts disconnected from my Microsoft Account) More detail:.
The devices include 2 Windows 10 laptops and a Windows 10 Mobile phone (the devices are not joined to a domain, but an Office 365 account ('Work Account') is used on the devices. The issue is resolved. I tried a variation of the suggested solution of creating a new local account, converting the Microsoft Account connected account to a local account, converting the new account to a Microsoft Account, and moving content. (see ) I created a new local account (tip: make it an admin account), copied files over from the original account, deleted/removed the original account, converted the new account to login with my Microsoft Account, and everything works now. The weird thing is the other devices I had also started to sync even though I didn't do this on them.
