Separating accounts window 11pro?

Question

How do I separate my work account from my personal account in windows 11 pro? Why am I seeing the same installed apps on both accounts?

Answer 1

You are welcome. Glad you had it sorted out.

Answer 2

I think I got it figured out It seems that I have to install the game only on the account I want to use it on and not have it installed on one and try to play it on the same PC but different account that I created! So to sum it up I had to uninstall the game from my primary account and reinstall it on my secondary account If I want to play it on my secondary account It shouldn't matter but for some reason it does in windows 11. Thanks for your reply!

Answer 3

Some games would allow you to install them for all users. I assume you didnt install this from the Microsoft store app right? Is it affecting any app you installed or just some?

Answer 4

I created a second account so I can Play high end racing games but I have already installed the games on my main account so when I go to my second account and sign in there's icons for my racing games already there when there shouldn't be any apps/programs etc... until I install them on my second account. I never had any problems like this in windows 10 if I created a new account there would be nothing but basic windows 10 until I installed it!

Hello John, this is Emily.

I might need your help by explaining what you meant by seeing the same installed apps on both accounts? Any screenshots will help.

At the same time, can you go to Settings > Acounts > Access Work or School, do you see your work email listed there?
