Access the Microsoft Windows 10 account synchronization settings

Windows 10 gives us the option of accessing the operating system with a local account or with an online account associated with either Hotmail or Outlook, the latter allows everything we do on the devices where you have logged in with that account can be synchronized This option helps us save time and share information between different devices by simply having the same session started . If we stop using one of these devices or we no longer use that email account, we must bear in mind that eliminating synchronization options may be the best option..

The use of synchronization is ideal as it allows not only synchronization of settings, wallpapers and more options, but it is also possible to synchronize documents and passwords . These items will be stored in the cloud in order to apply the changes automatically to other Windows 10 devices as soon as you log in to them. This synchronization option is enabled from the moment Windows 10 is installed but it is possible to disable it in a practical way directly from the Microsoft servers and TechnoWikis will explain how to do it.

Click on the "Yes" button to confirm the action. In carrying out this process we will see the following: image

This will cause the synchronization settings of the selected account to be removed from Microsoft servers. Always remember to synchronize devices that have this option enabled because if you stop using one of them you will continue to be synchronized through the account if you do not delete it. As we see, it is a really simple process to erase the account synchronization settings in Windows 10..
