Unwanted profile changes

From time to time Microsoft adds new features to Windows 11, separately from the regular upgrades. When these new features appear, my computer is unaffected but on my wife's computer her user profile changes to my profile and her Favorites are replaced with mine. Twice in the last few months I have had to switch my settings back to hers on her computer. How do I stop this from happening again?

    Verify that each user (yours and your wife’s) has a distinct account.

    If profiles are somehow linked or duplicated, consider removing and re-adding the accounts properly.
