According to Microsoft’s officially updated list of deprecated functions/features, Microsoft will deprecate the Microsoft Entra cross-device synchronization function in January 2024.
Microsoft says that after January 2024, Win11 users will no longer be supported using the sync feature, but Win10 users will continue to have access to the user experience and all local activity history.
The description is as follows:
"Starting in January 2024, syncing Microsoft Entra user activity across devices is no longer supported. Microsoft continues to store relevant data in the cloud, consistent with previous changes to Microsoft Accounts (MSA) in 2021. After that date, it will be unavailable to Win11 users, but it will continue to be available on Win10. After that date, Windows 10 devices save the user experience and all local activity history. Users can use the browser to access web history and access recent files through OneDrive and Office."
The Redmond-based tech giant announced a change from Azure AD to Microsoft Entra ID earlier this year, but Microsoft made it clear at the time that it would not make any changes to the service.
Microsoft official said: Microsoft Entra cloud synchronization is a new product/service provided by Microsoft, designed to meet and achieve the hybrid identity goal of synchronizing users, groups, and contacts in Microsoft Entra ID. It does this by using the Microsoft Entra cloud provisioning agent instead of the Microsoft Entra Connect application.
