    Changed Desktop Background At Home, And It Changed Office Background.


    can't quite figure out what's going on here...

    - had three windows 10 pcs networked at my business location (miles from home), all with different desktop backgrounds, all with slightly different configurations.

    - one of the three pcs was purchased for home use, it was just more convenient to set up / configure at work.

    - once setup was complete, i took the pc home, leaving 2 pcs networked at my business.

    - significant other didn't like the desktop background i had chosen for the home (media) pc, so we changed it.

    - came into the office the next day and one of the remaining two networked pcs had the same background my significant other had chosen, the one we installed on the home pc, i.e. it had replaced the previous office pc background.

    so how did this happen? my home pc is no longer networked with my office pc(s), even if it was, changing the desktop background shouldn't impact the other pcs... i may have been logged into my office google account at home, but would that do it?

    fwiw, we downloaded a wallpaper image from the net at home, saved it to the desktop, opened it with windows photo viewer, right clicked the image, and selected "set as desktop background".

    the image doesn't even exist on my office pc as far as i know, i mean i know i've never downloaded it before at my office.

    any help with this crazy turn of events would be much appreciated!

    :)
