Separating files with profiles

Anonymous

I will keep it short. I have photoshop and other software I use for work. Sometimes when I download a game or something new, it affects the performance of PS sometimes. I made a separate profile so that I have only games there. I still can access photoshop from my gaming profile, and access games through my work profile, which means the files are still interfering with each other. Is there a way to create a completely separate gaming profile that has no access in terms of files? Or putting windows on a separate hard drive is the only solution here?

    -Hi, my name is Claudeir, I'm happy to help you!

    Any game/software installed in any user profile will also be present in another one.

    But this shouldn't be a problem, if you have a good amount of spare space, why would your PS be slowed down just by installing a new game/software? unless this new program is being harmful to the system, making a huge use of processor and memory, even when not in use.

    I'll leave some suggestions to improve system performance:
