Microsoft added this feature because syncing your settings helps to maintain a consistent experience. However, it is not a feature for everyone, as many times you may want to keep configurations separate. If this is your case, Windows 10 allows you to control exactly the settings you want to keep synchronized across devices.

In this guide, you will learn the steps to select the settings you want to sync between Windows 10 devices or disable it completely.
