Hey everyone! I'm facing an issue with my laptop and desktop. I need different passwords for each, but they're still syncing the settings even after I disabled it in the settings. I got the desktop first, then the laptop a few months later. Both use the same Microsoft account, and I haven't had any problems until recently. Now that I changed the password on my desktop, the laptop is updating too, which isn't what I want.

It seems you should log in with a local account instead of a Microsoft account.

It seems this can't happen because Windows 10 requires you to connect to your Microsoft account to access the system. You'd have to detach that account from a device.

I reset all the sync configurations once more, and it appears to function correctly.
