to this day Microsoft intentionally made sure to make it harder to disable, for whatever **** they collect on our devices. Why not have the **** button to turn off sync where you would logically think it should be not go through a clutter **** of useless gimmick to hide the setting **** ****
How can I turn off the sync function my Microsoft account from my windows 11 laptop?
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.
