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,

    Go to Settings > Profiles > Sync. Toggle off all the items you don't want to sync with Edge on other devices.

    Edge will not sync with other browsers. However, it may import some browsing data from Chrome, say, on launch. You can turn this feature off at Settings > Profiles > Import browser data.

    You must have turned on sync on both your devices.

    There is no option on Import browser data to turn off importing data from Chrome, as you can see on the screenshot below. What should I do?

    I want to permanently remove Edge from accessing my Google Profiles and Chrome data. Unfortunately, I am finding it very hard to find the solution.

    Right now (Feb 2023) the only way to stop syncing is to create new key in registry.

    1. Make sure that Edge is closed.
    2. Open regedit from "Run command"
    3. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
    4. Add new value SyncDisabled. It has to be DWORD (32-bit) Value
    5. After adding this value set it to 1.

    (after restart of Edge you'll see "Your organization has turned off sync for this device.")
