Hey everyone. Was wondering if anybody could give me some advice here.
I have three Windows 8 computers:
1. My main desktop.
2. A Lenovo laptop.
3. A Surface RT.
The problem I'm having is that while 99% of the things that are supposed to sync actually ARE syncing -- like my contacts, my calendar, most of my bookmarks, etc. -- it seems that I am now running into some situations where things are NOT syncing.
For example, I recently added some new favorites to IE10 on my laptop, but now they are not showing up on my desktop. And for some reason, when I set up my Surface for the first time, it was able to sync everything, even my lock screen picture and Metro theme, but my laptop on the other hand did NOT change to the recent lock screen and Metro theme that are on my other two machines.
I do log into my central Microsoft account on all three computers.
Is there a way I can force a manual sync? Why would practically everything work, except for these few things?
Any help would be appreciated.
(Incidentally, all machines have sync turned on in PC Settings.)
