We just had a recent update and starting with version 90.0.796.0+ the page/section in Settings will be completely hidden when either SignIn or Sync are set to disabled via Group Policy. The section won't show up in the navigation page in settings and the URL to get to this page will also not work (the user will just be redirected to the root of the Settings experience). Hopefully this will help address some of the concerns! Thanks!

Hello, can this please be added as a separate GPO like originally requested? I want to use sync but I don't want that page there -- I don't support phone usage right now and don't need the headache. Thank you.

Kelly_Y I agree with @kqf_chris , a separate GPO for this is needed, we use local snyc but do not allow for the user to set up any type of cloud sync, as i understand as we use signin gpo that means this solution wont deactivate this page in our case
