NIS and Windows IE Favorites sync

I am running the latest version of NIS 2014 with Windows 8.1 Pro.  I have never been able (even with Windows 8 Pro) to get my IE 10 or 11 Favorties to sync across computers.  I stopped worrying about it because I didn't care too much that my laptop and desktop Favorites weren't syncing, but now I have a third computer (tablet) and really would like to sync.  When I first install Windows, it does populate/sync my Favorites but then won't sync after that... and I always install NIS after the computers are set up. 

 

Has anyone experienced or heard about NIS causing a problem with syncing Favorites (which apparently is now done through Skydrive in 8.1)?

 

P.S. Internet Explorer and Skydrive Sync Engine Host are both set to "Allow" in Program Rules.
