Windows 10: Account settings and log in photo

I have 3 computers associated with my Microsoft account, 2 of which I use and 1 used by my wife. My photo shows up on her log in screen and we would like a different photo to show on her computer when she logs on. Most of what I've read here suggests not syncing the settings to rectify this problem. However, when I follow those directions she still gets my photo on her log in screen. Do I need to set up a separate account for her computer? Thanks.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
