Hi edge experts,

I use a MS account to sign into Microsoft products, but I use only in my laptop system. How to stop sync when not needed?

Thank you,

    "It should be one click"

    It should be ZERO clicks. The default should be 'OFF'.

    There is no "Re-Set Sync" in My Edge Settings. There is only "Re-Sync." This is really pissing me off. How do I turn off Sync in Edge? I simply want to turn it off. It should be one freakin' click. It seems Microsoft makes it excruciatingly difficult for some reason.

    For those who do not have a registry structure of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge, you will need to do the following:

    3. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

    3a. Right click on the Microsoft folder, a pop-up window appears.

    3b. Scroll down to the word "New", slide over to the word "Key" and left click on it.

    3c. This will create a new folder, which needs to be name "Edge".

    3d. Now follow the remaining instructions as Jacek Sandomierz has specified and it will work.
