Microsoft announces that Win11 will abandon Entra cross-device synchronization in January next year.

CTOnews.com, October 20, according to Microsoft's officially updated list of deprecated features / features, Microsoft will deactivate Microsoft Entra cross-device synchronization in January 2024.

Microsoft said that after January 2024, Win11 users will no longer be able to support the synchronization feature, but Win10 users will continue to have access to the user experience and all local activity history.

The official description of CTOnews.com translator is as follows:

As of January 2024, synchronization of Microsoft Entra user activity records across devices is no longer supported.

Microsoft continues to store relevant data in the cloud, consistent with previous changes to its Microsoft account (MSA) in 2021.

After that date, Win11 system users will not be able to use it, but it will remain in the Win10 system.

After that date, the Win10 device saves the user experience and all local activity history. Users can use browsers to access network history and access recent files through OneDrive and Office.

The Redmond-based tech giant announced earlier this year that it would change Azure AD to Microsoft Entra ID, but Microsoft made it clear at the time that it would not make any changes to its service.

Microsoft official said: Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync is a new product / service provided by Microsoft, which aims to meet and achieve the goal of synchronizing users, groups and contacts in Microsoft Entra ID. It does this by using a Microsoft Entra cloud provisioning agent instead of a Microsoft Entra Connect application.
