As I said before, It's 15063-11 on PC and 10.0.15063.2 on the phone all signed in on same hotmail account where everything worked right for over a year. Syncing was almost instantaneous, not many entries were changed. It was easier for me to change on the PC and just let it sync at first opportunity (when I log the phone in with WiFi to my router). I don't have a problem with it if it wouldn't sync automatically and had to force it but I can't see a way to force it either.
Sorry that I overlooked your OSs earlier.
In the wake of new changes in Outlook.com, did you receive an email concerning this: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...6-e79454ac5eb3
You probably have checked already, but you may want to check your credentials in your devices' account again to make sure all is good.
As far as no menu bar with sync buttons is concerned, I'm baffled on that one. Perhaps phone screen size? Mine is a Lumia 1520 with a 6 inch screen. All in all, there should be a sync button somewhere.
Hmmm, that's possible fix for PC not phone, PC is OK and I use just mail APP. Nowhere on the phone can I find that symbol.
On the phone. I deleted hotmail account and that left me only with contacts from SIM card. Connected again with my hotmail account and it synced People contacts as they were but not with contacts on the PC.
LOL. I can be confusing at times. What I meant was I don't know about your SIM card when it comes to your contacts. I know what a SIM card is. I don't go that route with my cell provider.
Assuming you are using an MS account to sign into devices > emails, contacts, account info, backup data, map favorites, device descriptions, and any other apps' or devices' data is all stored and all comes from MS servers via your MS account. I'm sure I'm not telling a seasoned user like you anything new about the cloud.
I think somewhere along the line the authorization to those servers got corrupted. Does everything look ok in your MS account online? Do your devices show up there and are they trusted?
Still baffled that you don't have sync buttons somewhere.
You assumed everything right, and all is just like that, just no stupid Sync button in People APP. Just not syncing with same APP on the PC. It used to be almost instant a while back. I wasn't changing anything for some time and only recently noticed the problem. On the PC, People APP includes contacts from Skype and Outlook and that was also synced to phone some time ago but now that connection is broken. Maybe it will get fixed when Creators update is released for both.LOL. I can be confusing at times. What I meant was I don't know about your SIM card when it comes to your contacts.

One of the reasons I chose Windows phone is easy cooperation with PC, could never get that right with Androids. Whats even crazier, my old phones with Symbian were working super with XP on the PC. Almost tempted to reactivate my old Sony-Ericson Cyber-shot. I have interconnect base and everything for it.
@CountMike
I mislead you on the sync button. That was in my phone's Outlook mail app. There are sync buttons in some apps like Weather and some others, but not one in People. Of course that should sync automatically. I added a contact on my PC and it synched instantly to my phone.
Do all other apps sync for you?
