    Hi rebecca,

    Sorry, I was offline, f you both share that same account, you will need to turn off OneDrive on one of those devices to stop files syncing between the devices.

    To stop Settings.. etc. syncing, open the Settings App, then go to Accounts - Sync your Settings.

    turn off all sync settings on that page.

    Change that setting on both devices.

    Hi rebecca,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    What is syncing across those two devices, is it files on OneDrive, or is it your personal settings like Desktop background and layout?

    Do you both log into the two devices separately with different Microsoft Accounts or use one shared Microsoft Account on the two devices?
