    User desktop and switching users


    After upgrading from Win 7 64 to Win 10 64, whenever a different user logs into the computer the desktop gets screwed up for the original user. Both accounts are admin accounts; one has a password, the does not.

    Has anyone else seen this and does anyone know how to fix it?

    Thx

    Mark this one as resolved. I am having to reinstall everything due to getting slammed with the ransom virus so I'll have to recreate the system. I'm not going to allow a second user so it has become academic.

    Thanks for your reply.
