Windows 10: How to separate "Desktop" and other folders if I use One Drive on 2 different laptops

I have two different Windows laptops that are used for different purposes, so there are mostly different files and shortcuts on each. I had been using One Drive on one of them for quite a while and decided to turn it on for the second laptop.

Desktop icons on 2 separate user profiles

Hi Jack

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Real 2 separate desktops

This has been asked before and threads closed without a positive answer.

I would love to have two real different virtual desktops.

1 for working with files, folders and shortcuts related to working

2 for gaming with files, folders and shortcuts related to gaming

3 for my classes of French with files, folders and shortcuts related to my classes of French

All we can do with "virtual desktops" is having different wallpapers and different apps/programs running in each but i would love to have a "clean" desktop for each of my tasks (working, gaming, French...) showing files, folders and shortcuts related to
each desktops, something like having 3 users running 3 different desktops.

It seems Microsoft does not like the idea despite thousands of users have reported they would like to have this.

By the way, my feedback does not work today, so i cannot post this suggestion in the feedback center.
