Do not synchronize Windows Apps
This policy setting defines whether the User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) Agent synchronizes settings for Windows apps.

If you enable this policy setting, the UE-V Agent will not synchronize settings for Windows apps. If you disable this policy setting, the UE-V Agent will synchronize settings for Windows apps. If you do not configure this policy setting, any defined values are deleted. Note: If the user connects their Microsoft account for their computer then the UE-V Agent will not synchronize Windows apps. The Windows apps will default to whatever settings are configured in the Sync your settings configuration in Windows.
