    My Akruto sync stopped recently, not for the first time. I assumed that, as usual, I would have to reconfigure it from scratch but this time it didn’t work. I spent hours and hours but eventually it dawned on me that it had last worked before I shut down my Windows PC to go on holiday and it was possible that at that time it installed some updates. So I uninstalled everything that had been applied around that time and now it works.

    In an ideal world I would have uninstalled them one by one to see which one had done the damage but I was desperate.

    The following are what I uninstalled :

    Update for Office 2003 (KB2543854): APDATA
    Update for Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter (KB2863822): OUTLFLTR
    Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3 (SP3)

    The above are very unlikely to be the culprits.

    KB5044033 This one has a fair bit of bad press online
    KB5046633
    KB5045935

    This was on Windows 11 Home edition and an Android phone.

    support@akruto.com – thanks for abandoning me when the going got tough. I don’t want to help you but I want to help the community.

    Hello,

    Iโ€™m really sad that this new โ€œupdateโ€ to version 5.3.26 broke the working system.
    How could I go back to earlier working version?

    Support answered quickly to my email. As offered I installed BlueMail. It start sync for calendar, but does not show any calendar inputs. Contacts are shown, but only with name and email, no phonenumber. I have done the permissions in android.

    Iโ€™m starting to be really disappointed to the situation.

    BR,

    Hi,

    I have the issue that all the calendar and contact entries are deleted and added to both my Android and my wife’s.
    Now Mika asked for a backup of an older version and I put all installers I could find in my Download folder to this Dropbox folder:
    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5x7noh9qecmwb4njub3x8/AO4MaXNLx8xCeYxfNfrOHsk?rlkey=lpd8roieethq10f48icymqvsq&dl=0
    Hope it helps you; I’m gonna uninstall 5.3.26 and reinstall 5.3.25 now, and will never ever update AkrutoSync again.

    Best regards
    Andreas

    Hi Beerry,
    follow the Dropbox link. There you find SetupAkrutoSync-5.3.25.exe and other recent updates.
    Sadly, after uninstalling 5.3.26, moving the %AppData&/Local/Akruto folder away and installing 5.3.25, the sync still does not workproperly. I have lost all my 770 contacts on the phone, and although it says it has pushed all contacts to the phone, there are none. Every time I manually stop and restart the calendar sync on Android, it deletes all my calendar items before adding them back.
    Kind of disappointing: It had worked most of the time for years and years. Now I’m really considering to switch to Google calendar, although we all know it they’re spying on us.
    Any news

    Hello all,

    Thanks for reply and link to earlier versions for Andreas.

    I have done some extra testing. Unfortunately it’s quite time consuming :(.

    1. do not change any settings on your WIN akruto

    2. disable wifi from your android – this is important! otherwise you might loose the data from your outlook

    3. delete the akruto-account from android phone

    4. restart your android phone

    5. enable wifi on your android phone

    5. make a new exchange account (akruto) to your android phone. Make sure you only choose calendar or connections, not both.
    6. Follow closely the first sync and when it is ready. Then asap uncheck the synced (calendar or connections).
    7. Do the same to the other (calendar or connections).

    It seems that You can get the “snapshot” of that time to your android. Follow the instructions precisely, othervise you might loose your data from Outlook. It’s a good idea to make backup of outlook folders before starting.

    The best of luck to everyone and waiting for new & working version of Akruto,

    Mika

    Thank you so much for your post, Mika!
    I haven’t been able to sync for 2 weeks, double-checking my modem, my phone, my firewall to see whether they did an update and broke things. Didn’t even think of checking if akrutosync did an update.
    And thank you akrutosync for getting back to Mika and looking into the problem.
    Maybe akrutosync should have put something on their website alerting us of the issue so we didn’t pull our hair out for two weeks wondering and troubleshooting…
    Sitting and waiting for the update…and crossing fingers ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hello,

    I did install the 5.4.16 version of the Akruto. It seems to do the sync ok and it doesn’t lead in to deleting of the the items.

    One remark is that the calendar sync is quite slow. I know I have quite large ammount of calendar items to sync, but now it has been 10 hrs and 1850 items. With earlier versions it has been much faster.

    At least now everything seems to be working.

    BR,

    Mika

    Thanks for your updates Mika!
    The new version didn’t fix stuff for me at first, but after repairing my PST file with SCANPST.EXE, now it finally works.

    Now I only have to get my wife’s phone fixed. ๐Ÿ˜€
    I’m really happy it looks good now. Was already considering to fall back to synchronized Google calendar…

    Still haven’t been able to synchronise – last sync was 14 November 2025 at 10.00 am AUSTRALIAN EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
    I have completed AkrutoSync and Windows 11 updates but still nothing.
    Looked at uninstalling Windows updates to see if that broke it, but can’t seem to do that – strange.
    Are we still waiting for more updates?
    Have loved AkrutoSync for sooooo many years. A couple of years ago, synchronising stopped but the support wrote instructions on the forum and was fixed within a week or so.
    Any information would be helpful; I’m getting lost without my calendar bookings and contacts from my phone pushing through onto my PC ๐Ÿ˜
