Windows 10: Stop data syncing across accounts on same device

HelloI use multiple accounts on the device I am using, one for work, one for entertainment, etc. However, data across these accounts "sync". For example, I install an app on one account, and it appears on the other. This also applies to the Microsoft Edge and other Microsoft products. Does it have something to do with local and admin accounts, and how do I un-sync the data? Thanks,Yard

Windows 10 User Account Settings Stopped Syncing Across Devices

Hello Rafael, I hope you had a good holiday.

I have performed the steps you suggested (again), and there is no change: user account and Windows 10 settings are not syncing, even after 12 hours.

However, I now have some new information:

In order to determine whether this issue was Windows-related or related to our Microsoft accounts, I performed the following test on several machines:

• I added user profiles on affected computers tied to a different Microsoft account, one not associated with my main Microsoft account or part of my Microsoft Family Safety group.
  
• On all of these devices, this account synced settings correctly, and right away (little delay).
  
• However, on these same devices, my own account (and other accounts tied to my family),
  continued not to sync, as previously reported.

Therefore, I now believe that this issue is not Windows-related, but specific to our Microsoft accounts. My son is tied to my Family Safety group, so I suspect this issue is affecting all of us.

Is it possible that you can connect me with an escalation agent in Microsoft Account support to look into this further?

Thank you.
