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,

    The only thing that we can see hear on our end is until Microsoft only. Edge is missing tho we already edge browser and currently using it.

    Nope... as of March 2023, editing the registry with the above instructions does not work. There is no "Edge" sub folder, at least in Win10 there isn't.

    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.
