  1. Separating work and personal modes


    Working from home and juggling a work machine, personal, etc. has me wondering how to better consolidate for efficiency. IT is OKish with me using my personal machine for work. OKish being "I can't stop you but if you do then do x,y,z." All that's fine, but I'm curious how to best separate apps, desktops, etc.

    Firefox containers can help isolate web sites. It's more ideally, having a separate task bar, desktop icons, etc. to really separate work and personal mode. Any suggestions? 3rd party apps are fine too if they give that desired effect.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
