What to do if Google Chrome won’t sync on Windows 8, 10 and 11

A problem that has been presented to many users, is that Google Chrome does not perform synchronization with the Google account that we put to log in it. For this, we will have to do a series of steps to solve the synchronization problem and we can activate it and in this article we bring you the solution to this.

Common issues if Chrome isn’t syncing properly with Windows

When we log in the google chrome browser we have many advantages that the browser itself provides us, one of them is the export of the extensions to other browsers or computers. But not only this, but also when logging in, all the bookmarks we have, the passwords and extensions, will be saved in this Google account.

But of course, by not having the account synchronized, we will not be able to have the benefit of these explained above, since it is important to have it active at all times. Some of the most common problems can be, loss of saved passwords, bookmarks added out of sync loss, are the most common out there.

When we do not do the synchronization in the browser, we can lose a lot of important data, but it usually happens that the browser itself prevent us from doing this synchronization for some reason that we do not understand and for that, we seek how to solve this problem that can happen frequently in Windows.

Wipe cache

On certain occasions, the cache is what causes this problem of not being able to synchronize the account with the browser. To prevent this, we can erase this memory and see if this is the problem. First, you will have to go to browser menu and go to Settings and in the lower part, click on Advanced

In this window, you must go to Clear data and navigation and then click Clear data. It will be showing you three options which you will select and click on delete, at the end of this process, all temporary files are being deleted, in the same way as deleting the browsing and search history of the most visited pages of the browser

Disable antivirus

One of the most common problems, but one that is often overlooked, is that the antivirus is causing the problem, and that is that the antivirus itself has tools that prevent the browser from working as it is. You can proceed to disable some of these tools or disabling antivirus completely to see if it is the problem that prevents synchronization.

Remove and re-add Google account

You can use a very easy and simple solution, but one that can be very effective in solving this problem, is to delete the account and re-add it to Google Chrome. For this, you can click on the profile picture of the browser and in ‘Other Profile’in this way you will be able to see the accounts that are there and you will be able to delete yours by clicking on the three points of the photo and clicking on ‘Delete’ then you will only have to add it again.

Reinstalar Google Chrome

The most efficient way to get your browser working properly again is to reinstall it again to fix any problems.

To download and install Google Chrome again, first uninstall it in the easiest way, enter the default programs and in ‘Programs and characteristics’ search for the program and uninstall, then you will search for the browser installer and reinstall and do the process of adding the Google account.

Sign out of Chrome on all devices

A problem that not all of us can see with the naked eye, is that if we have the account added to several devices, it will stop working properly at some point, and in that case you will have to leave the account on all the devices on which it is located.

For this enter the settings and log outdo it on all devices, the most recommended thing is that you only have the account on two different devices so as not to cause a saturation problem

Why does Google sync stop within Windows?

Sometimes the synchronization pauses automatically, this may be because when we log in with an account in Google Chrome, it will be automatically started in all platforms such as Gmail, YouTube, Microsoft accounts, among other. And when we proceed to change the account on the Gmail page, it is automatically paused

But the most common thing that can happen is when we leave the Gmail account that is added to the Google Chrome session, since these two work together in some way, and that is why the pause can occur in sentences. But to recover this synchronization you must log in again to the main account that is added to Google Chrome.
