Settings Sync disabled when an Office 365 account is connected to Windows.

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue:

I am running Windows 10 Pro 1709.

I sign in to Windows with my outlook.com Microsoft Account.

I also subscribe to Office 365 plan F1.

When I add my Office 365 account under Settings > Accounts > Access work or school, Settings Sync (Start, colour scheme, desktop background etc.) gets disabled and greyed out after a reboot.

Removing the Office 365 account and rebooting re-enables Settings Sync.

Just me, or is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,

.Dave

    <p>I think it might have something to do with 1709 having a different settings sync from previous releases, and I think that it's based on the enterprise version. Signing in may disable the built-in Windows version as it's switched over to O365's equivalent system. Sign in with O365 on another machine and change your wallpaper to see if it propagates.</p><p><br></p><p>Wish I could offer more help :(</p>

    <p>Yep, but instead of fixing actual existing problems microsoft brings Office to <a href="https://droidinformer.org/Stories/microsoft-office-is-now-available-on-chromebooks.html&quot; target="_blank">Chromebooks</a>. So relevant and timely, riiight.</p>
