    Complete separate user account? Win 10


    I was wondering if I can make an additional user account that has complete separate files and separate programs.
    Such as I have Diablo 2 but I don't want the other user to be able to see that Diablo II is installed.

    Another example being that I have family photos of my account that I don't want a stranger to see...

    Also, I would like to have a very simplified help in terms of wording Complete separate user account? Win 10 :eek:.

    Please a reply would be nice I am running low on time.

    :)

    Another Cortana problem after Win 10 AU update

    Greetings,

    Please allow me to add some information. Both machines that I was referencing are setup with different user accounts. So I'm not sure if your suggestion is still valid since the issue is affecting two completely separate machines (separate user accounts).

    Can you provide any other options?

    And to the community in general, is anyone else experiencing this Cortana issue?

    Creating to completely separate users in Windows 10 Pro

    Hello,

    Is there a way to create to completely separate users in Windows 10 Pro? Or what would be the closest to this, in terms of sharing the least amount of things, for example the apps installed, files stored, etc?

    Thanks

    Diego
