Windows 10: How to UN Sync Background Displays between devices

Every time my son changes his desktop display background, it changes on my laptop background picture as well. How do I stop that from happening - How do we separate our devices so this does not keep happening?

Background and Theme won't Sync Between Surface Devices

Greetings, all!

I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7 and am trying to sync the background wallpaper and theme with a Surface Laptop 3 (both running Windows 10). It's been several days and the wallpaper/theme is still not in sync, however. Here is a chronological list of
steps taken in an attempt to resolve the issue:

1) Confirmed that I was logged into my Microsoft account on both devices

2) Toggled the "Sync settings" switch in "Settings->Sync your settings" off and back on for both devices

3) Restarted the SettingsSyncHost.exe process as suggested in this post

4) Waited 24 hours for changes to take effect

5) Confirmed that OneDrive sync was turned on for both devices

6) Closed and re-opened OneDrive to see if this would "kick-start" the sync process again

7) Waited 48 more hours for changes to take effect

8) Verified that the box for "Enable syncing Internet Explorer settings and data" was checked, as suggested in this
post

OneDrive sync appears to be fully functional - I put some test files in my Surface Laptop's OneDrive desktop and they promptly showed up in the OneDrive desktop on the Surface Pro. The only thing not syncing in the background and theme.

Is there a way to manually force a sync between the devices' themes, instead of waiting for OneDrive to do so at whatever time it so pleases?

Thanks for your assistance!

Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

I think I have to take the following steps:

• Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
• Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
• Startup PC
• Reinstall display driver
• Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
• Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
• Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
• Calibrate my 1440p monitor

Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

Is there anything else I should do/know?
