    Icons from other computers are appearing on my laptop


    I have a new Windows 11 laptop and an older Windows 10 desktop. For some reason the desktop icons from my desktop keep appearing on the laptop. If I delete them, shortly they start appearing again. I searched the settings looking for something that may be causing this but I did not find anything. How do I get this to stop?

    :)

    Black Icon Appeared on Desktop. House With Line Through it. Can't Click on it

    Hi,

    To isolate the cause of this icon that suddenly appeared, we just have a few questions:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • When did this icon start appearing?
    • Have you made any recent changes on your computer?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Note: To find the make and model of your computer, type System Information in the
    Ask me anything bar.
