    Desktop sync/ backup


    I use my account on my home and office computers. Some desktop shortcuts aren't on my home PC that are on my home PC and vice versa. I don't want my two PC's intermingling the shortcuts, so I turn off the desktop backup and stop the sync, but it always seems to be turning back on? It gets really screwy and messes with each other. I use windows 11. Does anyone else have this issue where even when you turn off desktop backup it seems to want to turn back on?

    :)
