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,

Nithin. R

    Best solution that I found is to stop using Edge altogether, since they make it impossible to personalize what we really want and do not want in our Edge "Recent" list. Mine was full of PDF file names that I had opened, which I have no need to see in my browser. I can see it in Acrobat!

    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.

    Thank you, this Edge sync problem was driving me crazy.
