Forcing Windows 10 to sync account settings
12,627
You may recreate Windows 10 account. One way of doing it:
- Open
cmd.exe
( Win + X, "Command Prompt (Admin)" ), typenet user Administrator /active:yes
, hit Enter. - Sign in as Administrator (Win, click current user avatar, "sign out", sign in as admin).
- Delete user that fails to sync, e.g. via Settings. Your data and settings will be removed!
- Add new user within Administrators group in Settings or this way:
- Win + R,
control userpasswords2
. - Add new user (via Microsoft account or create local user if you want custom name for your user folder).
- Add user to Administrators group in user properties.
- Win + R,
- Sign in with new user, bind to Microsoft account in Settings for local users.
- Turn off Administrator account in
cmd.exe
:net user Administrator /active:no
.

Today I wanted to ask if there is any way to force settings synchronization in Windows 10? Last day I decided to reinstall my Windows 10, but after installing new instance Windows won't ask me if I want to get my settings from onedrive account (I was installing Windows 10 Pro N version).
I still have my old Windows 10 instance on old HDD (I bought new SSD), so I can force old OS to upload settings to the cloud, and then try to get it back on new Windows.
Thanks for help :D

Skorek about 8 yearsI'm afraid that this is not what I wanted to achieve. I wanted to sync system settings (control panel settings, etc.), but when I contacted MS support they told me that it's not currently supported in Windows 10.
