Windows 10: trying to separate accounts

So, I am trying to create a second user account on my computer so I can have different settings and generally have a few things separated out, and just avoid cluttering up my personal and programming (currently only a hobbyist programmer, so not that good, probably why I am having this trouble) environments on my computer, that includes all my programs from one account to another, but every time I try to separate things out, all my programs remain accessible to the other account. I mainly have a bunch of games off steam on my computer, and what I want is to not be able to access them when I switch over to my other account. Essentially, each account should feel like it is on a different computer. Granted this isn't exactly necessary, I just like keeping things separate so that when I'm working on a big project, I'm not getting distracted, as well as a few different settings I check from one to another to optimize that account for its intended use. If it helps, I'm running Windows 10 pro, my OS runs off of an SSD, but the majority of my stuff is split between 2 disk drives, because when I was making my computer, SSDs that met the amount of space I wanted were out of my price range. If anyone can help me accomplish my task, I would appreciate it.

Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

3. Select add someone else on this PC.
4. Enter a user name and hit next.
5. Click on Finish.
6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
