Windows 10: Accounts suddenly linked

I don't know what is going on!

For the past couple of weeks my Windows 10 Microsoft Account and my wife's Windows 10 local account seem to have become linked. I always log in to my Microsoft account but my wife has a local account only- or at least she always used to have, but now I'm not so sure. My profile picture now appears in her account. When she changes it back, her profile picture then occurs in my account, and so on- changing the profile picture in one account changes it in the other.


Now my desktop background picture has appeared in her account.


But our Windows folders are unaffected.


What has happened and how do we get back to separate profiles?

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

• Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code: net user test /del[/quote]

I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

• Select add someone else on this PC.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
