Windows 10: Changing the buttons on one network mouse changes the other also

I have two PCs on my home network and I am logged into both with the same account. I prefer a left-hand mouse on one computer and a right-hand mouse on the other. Ever since updating to Win 10 v2004 yesterday I cannot do this. Changing the buttons on one mouse changes both. Please advise.
