This is a problem with Microsoft's RSS Feed Reader. As most people use a different Reader (or don't use RSS at all) this can be disabled. Please follow the instructions below to disable it.

Open Internet Explorer.
Click Tools>>then Internet Options.
Click on the Content tab.
At the bottom, under the Feeds section, click Settings.
Uncheck all boxes and click OK.
Click OK to close the window.
Close Internet Explorer and reopen.

Microsoft Feeds Synchronization error keeps on popping up.

Sounds like your IE is corrupt, uninstall it from Add/Remove programs, this will revert to an older version, visit Windows Updates to re-install.

If you want to know what this is the error code is related to

Click start control panel administrative tools computer management then select event viewer this may vary depending on what operating system you have


extend the events there you will see errors in red you will no what exactly what the error was and at what time it occurred
or click start type in event viewer press ENTER
you might be able work your way through the problem
right click in the top toolbar (top of screen) you should see a number of toolbar options select the menu tab which will add File Edit View Favourites Tools and Help

Go to Tools / Internet options / Content / Feeds / Settings and uncheck all the boxes so feeds do not apply to IE any more (or you can keep some checked if you actually use them but this is where the problem is coming from).


That should resolve the problem.


or


1. When exactly do you receive this error message?

2. How long have you been facing this issue?

3. Did you make any software or hardware changes on your computer prior to this issue?



If you are facing the issue in Internet Explorer, let's follow these steps & check if the issue persists:


a) Open Internet Explorer, click on Favorites button located on the top of your browser. Right-click the gray toolbar if you do not see the "Favorites" button.


Click the Favorites Bar option.

You should see the "Favorites" button.

Click it.


b) Click the Feeds tab.

You should see a list of the RSS feeds downloaded on your browser.


c) Right click on the feeds and click Delete.

Repeat this same process to delete all RSS feeds.

Close "Favorites" when you finish.


d) Reopen Internet Explorer & check if the issue reoccurs.

Hope the helps.

Synchronization error

This happens because you have RSS Feeds, from Microsoft, and they are losing the connection, sometimes, this can be quite normal. If you do not want the to appear any more simply turn off your RSS feeds.
