    Multiple User accounts with separate desktops, how to hide folder on new account.

    Hey, I've set up a user account on my PC to allow my mom to sign in and do her own work on the computer, without interfering with any of my files or work. However, it seems my desktop icons are cluttered all over the desktop on her account, and she still
    has access to many of my folders. Is there anyway to create a dedicated desktop for her, while not interfering with any of my files or desktop icons?

    Windows 10 desktop PC is stuck in the tablet mode

    Windows 10 desktop PC is stuck in the tablet mode



    I have a user that has a Windows 10 PC that worked fine for a long time.
    But recently her desktop has been stuck in the tablet mode.
    In the lower right hand corner, is a virtual keyboard icon. In her start menu there are the 3 items on top (START, Pinned tiles and All Apps) menu items just like the tablet mode.



    If I go to the action center (lower right corner icon) and launch the menu, the Tablet Mode Icon is greyed out.
    If I go to settings>USE DESKTOP MODE>, the DESKTOP MODE is selected, yet even after reboot it still shows that it is selected for desktop mode.
    Yet, the environment remains in the tablet mode.



    I have changed out the user’s profile and that solves the problem.
    However, we have a lot of applications to configure which will take probably one full day to configure, so we are trying to avoid having to swap out her user profile.
    Does anyone here have a possible solution to this issue?
