Internt Browser history and Syncing tracking
      

I try to delete my browser history, cookies, everything but it still pops up in the Internet Browser. Does this have to do with my account being logged into all of my computers, if so how do I turn this feature off. This crap is annoying. Even when I use cleaner it still shows websites I've visited.

Also I fear that this feature allows my company to track my browser history when I use their wireless network. Would they be able to see this information if they wanted to track it? Can they see the links I visited at home on other machines. I noticed the frequent websites visited pops up on my tablet from other machines I use at home. I'm really curious to know if tracking software on company networks would be able to track these frequent websites visited.

Its my understanding that since my account is encrypted then my company wouldn't be able to see my messages and any synced information such as pics, favorite websites, browsing history, etc.  I'm not 100% on that though.

Hi,

According to your description, this phenomenon caused by Microsoft Account Sync mechanism, you can disable IE access history by following steps:

Open PC Settings, click OneDrive.

Great, thanks. I also wanted to know if I use my companies WiFi using my Surface Pro can they track my web pages from this syncing (meaning if I use another device at home and use my tablet at work when everything syncs after being connected can they see the web pages and other synced activity). Or is this info encrypted through my account?

Yes, you can. Surface Pro is same with laptop. For security concern, it's assembed with your Microsoft Account. Therefore, don't worry about its security.
