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.

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

On the "latest" (2023-01-23) version of Windows 11, you go to Settings --> Accounts

Then in the URH corner you click on the "One Drive Manage" icon which brings you to the "Manage folder backup" screen. You can then turn off some or all the directories (such as Pictures) that you want to stop backing up.

There is no "Settings --> Accounts" That's what everyone is trying to state. I have the same issue. There is no way to turn off sync. No Settings--> Accounts..it does not exist as of 12/16/2023.

If I type "sync" I get "Your profile". Under my profile is "sync". After clicking that, there is no option to turn off sync. None. No "accounts", no "off", no nothing related to shutting sync off.
