Windows 10: Background image changes to image not on my PC

My background on my laptop and desktop changes randomly to images that are not on either machine. The images are related to a work project that I did for a event space. It's clear that it's sync thing happening but none of the several PCs at that venue are related to my MS account. I remote logged into all of them and the background image isnt event on any of them but it's clear that the image is from that venue since it marketing material for their events. This definitely has something to do with Teamviewer or other remote login software that I use but I can't see how. I log into dozens of machines remotely but this is the only one. I've changed my user and password so that if any machines were using my account those machines would need to log in. I also looked at the inventory of the PCs associated with my account and I know what they all are and none seem to be related to that venue. Bizarre. I even worked with the IT team at this venue and they confirmed that all of the PC associated with that venue are running on their account.
