Windows 10: Widows Update Shares Information to Unrelated Computers

After the recent Widows update, this computer has the bookmarks of my wife’s computer and her computer has my bookmarks. Also, her Office programs has my computer color background and my computer has hers. This is easy to fix, but I wanted to know if you have had other people mention this problem.

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

This sounds pretty awesome, if true. There are a lot of old games I don't play that I'd be willing to share with friends, and there are some that I'd want to play but not sure about actually buying as well.
