  2. How can I unsync my laptop from my desktop?

    How can I unsync my laptop from my desktop without bothering the printer or phone or anything else. Everything I read seems to state that if I unsync on the settings page it will cause problems with everything.

    Unsyncing desktop shortcuts

    Syncing the desktops for me is done in OneDrive and is a OneDrive setting. Go to
    OneDrive Settings -> AutoSave and you will see where you can unsync your desktop. Set
    Desktop to This PC Only so that it doesn't sync to OneDrive.
