PowerPoint won't sync automatically

Question

I'm a teacher and create a presentation at my desktop on PowerPoint. If I make corrections or changes during or between classes it will save to OneDrive but does not automatically sync to the presentation computer. I have to go to the presentation and click the little circular arrow in PP and it will sync. Last year it worked automatically within seconds. Any ideas on how to make it sync automatically? Thanks!

Hello Teacher Tory!

Good day. I would be grateful to help you.

From your description, it seems that you have problem about Microsoft PowerPoint sync in your system. I understand that this issue has affected your daily teaching performance.

It might be supposed to your PowerPoint version. So, I think you can repair Office. Please check your PowerPoint version and make sure your copy of Office will always be up to date with the latest version.

1. To update Office: Open Microsoft PowerPoint > File > More > Account > Update Options > Update Now. After updating Microsoft PowerPoint restart your system.

2. Try to fix the Office client, by performing a repair. Try a quick repair first; if that doesn't work, try the online repair.

If your problem persists, we can work together to get a solution. Please provide me with some details information such as:

1. Does the problem happen with a specific file or all files?
2. Does the problem happen with other Office application?

3. Do you use a personal Microsoft account or a work/school account? If you are using a work/school account, has this happened with your other colleagues?

Please don't hesitate to provide us with more details so we can better understand your concerns and support you more effectively.

Hope you have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Sophia
