# Sync Trigger Events for UE-V

**Applies to**
-   Windows 10, version 1607

User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) lets you synchronize your application and Windows settings across all your domain-joined devices. *Sync trigger events* define when the UE-V service synchronizes those settings with the settings storage location. For more information about Sync Method configuration, see [Sync Methods for UE-V](uev-sync-methods.md).

## UE-V Sync Trigger Events


The following table explains the trigger events for classic applications and Windows settings.
