Windows 10: New MS account and user set up issue on new laptop

Just purchased a new laptop for my office. Set it up under my account. Then I set up a new account user and a new local user for the staff to use. However, when I sign in as the new account user, my desktop applications appear and my network folders etc., not the new users. How do I keep my data private and only the new users desktop comes up?

New Account/User Issues

Hi,

When you create a new user account, Windows uses the Default user profile as a template to construct the files for the newly created user account. You might be experiencing issues creating new accounts due to a corrupt Default profile. To
resolve the issue, we suggest reinstating the Default folder in the
Users directory by following these steps:

• Log in as an administrator.
• Open the C:\Users folder using Windows Explorer.
• Rename the Default user profile folder to Default.OLD.
• Download a zip of C:\Users\Default from a Windows 10 installation that doesn't have this problem.
  
• Unzip the non-corrupt Default profile into C:\Users.
• Try logging in to the new user account and check if the problem is resolved.

Let us know how it turns out.
