How can I turn off the sync function my Microsoft account from my windows 11 laptop?

Anonymous

I really want to un sync my windows 11 laptop from my desktop computer connected with the same Microsoft account. Every time I delete something on my laptop to free up space I don’t want it to be deleted from desktop. How do I change this? Please and thank you for your time.

Once I open "accounts" there is NO place that says Sync your settings... there is no toggle to turn on or off. all it will let me do is pause.

Try looking under windows backup. That is where I found sync setting on my pc. Then turn off sync.

i do not have that option in settings

My settings show nothing but options, upgrade, english

i do not have any options that would help me follow all the instructions on line for sync or manage sync

i am totally lost and have lost years of pics by deleting them on desktop

i cant reach support bc there is no such thing at msft and i am the admin

Same here. No "accounts" to go to. Every single time I have an issue with windows, I get solutions that don't actually exist.
