Windows 10 sync settings not working

Windows 10 offers synchronization that allows features like themes, passwords, language preferences, easy access, and a few other Windows 10 settings. It works on computers. Sometimes sync doesn't work, or sync option goes gray, or you get an error that could indicate that Sync isn't working or Sync isn't available for your account. This post will guide you on how to solve Windows 10 sync not working settings.

A. Verify your Microsoft account If the account was created recently, especially when setting up the account on a computer, it will have to be verified. Microsoft will either email or handle you through the verification process. If it hasn't been completed, the sync will fail.

2. Find the link - Verify - and click it.
   
3. When you click on it, it will prompt you to verify using the Authenticator app or Phone Number or any other way.
   

Once done, syncing will begin to work.

Many companies allow syncing on authorized devices, and some allow it to work only on a single device. However, if you need to, you will have to ask your administrator. These accounts will show no sync error with your account. C. Enable Microsoft account synchronization through Registry Editor or Group Policy If you've verified, and sync isn't working, you can use either a subscription method or Group Policy to turn sync on. Registration method 1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync Create a new DWORD with the name - DisableSettingsSync - and set the value to 2.
