This usually happens when Windows users log into the same Microsoft account on multiple devices. Even though they have signed in using the same Microsoft account, the prior settings are not carried over to the new device. However, several users have been complaining that “Sync your settings” is not working in Windows 10. Windows can even sync other types of information between devices. Depending on the device you’re signing into, Windows 10 can also sync other things, such as mouse or printer settings.
In Windows 10, users can sync various personalization settings, including your Windows theme (wallpaper, color, etc.), language preferences, passwords saved in Microsoft Edge, and Ease of Access settings. By enabling Windows 10 to sync your settings, you can have a more consistent experience regardless of which device you happen to be using. Sync your settings in Windows 10 lets some of the common customization preferences be synced to the cloud and applied to any computer you sign into using your Microsoft account. Whenever you get a new computer, it can be a lengthy and troublesome process to customize it just the way you like.
