Solved 2 PCs are somehow connected?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hy everyone, my PC knowledge is basic so i would appreciate if you will try to help me.

Both my gf and i have laptops. The problem is, she recently changed her background and theme on her laptop and that background and theme changed on my laptop also (even though i dont have that background pic on my laptop). Also when i changed background back to old, it changed on her laptop also. So i assume this 2 laptops are somehow connected. Any idea how and how to kill the connection? Thank you
 
Hello

Are both laptops the same model? Do both laptops have built in wifi? Do these laptops have bluetooth? Also it seems that your 2 laptops are sync'd up some how.. Please give us your/both complete laptop spec's...

- Toshiba Portege Z30
- Intel Core i5 8250U Processor

- UHD Graphics 620 Graphics card
- 8GB RAM

Both laptops share same wifi (but it happened when we were both at work at different place), bluetooths are both off always, they share same one drive and samr dropbox acc.
 
You set both systems up using the same Microsoft account. So when they go on line they discover that things are different and make the corrections accordingly.

On both systems

Go into Settings
Account
on the left side select Sync Your Settings
On the right turn them all off.
Reboot
Change the back ground and see if that helps.
