    User accounts "bleed" their settings into other user accounts


    Hey there!

    MSI Trident 3
    Windows 10 Home 1909 64-bit

    Long story short, we bought this computer, set it up, and added a user account for my wife and myself. The issue started with her account icon turning into my icon and now her account has my wallpaper and my color scheme while my account has adopted the mouse pointer that she uses. I've done several google searches and have not found anything on this so, please, be gentle if this question has been asked elsewhere. Would love to know how to prevent this from happening. Thank you in advance!

    :)

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

    Let us create a new administrator account to check if the same thing will happen. Here are the steps:

    • Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage another account > Add a new user in PC settings > Add someone else in this PC.
    • Enter the credentials needed.
    • Click the account that you have made and then click the Change account type option.
    • Choose Administrator and then click OK.
    Let us know how it goes.
