Correct Method For Multiple Windows Accounts - Help Plz

REL1G · #1 04-17-2022

Windows 10 Home

When I make a new login account, I notice there are is some apps/software that comes with the new account. Like on the desktop. Is this normal or is there a setting or something I should turn on/off to keep this from happening? I dont want residual stuff hiding in the background that is going to ultimately be a link between my main account and all the others

stock programs maybe! But newly added programs shouldn’t be there.

Sometimes when you install apps they install to all users. But it sounds like you are talking about bloatware that’s preloaded into windows. That won’t cause a link.

Its not programs that come with Win 10. Its definitely stuff Ive downloaded from my my/only account. Stuff like:

- OBS
- Google Sheets
- Team Viewer
- 5K Player
- CSV Viewer
- ParseHub (Web Scraping Software)
- Chrome
- Brave
- FireFox

I got on Firefox and there isnt any Profiles on Firefox, but the program itself along with the ones I named were on the desktop.

I just ran a Win 10 Debloater Script from Github to delete disable stuff like One Drive and Cortana

Those applications don’t matter.. you’re over thinking it. A seperate windows user for each eBay account just keeps the cookies / cache seperate if you plan on having lots of eBay accounts

You should be able to message marketplace sellers with less than 25 posts

Nothing to worry about here
