Hi, 

 

I've installed Windows with the Media Creation Tool many times. Every time I log in with my Microsoft account, it automatically restores some files, background and a few settings. Does anybody know how to disable that feature? I still wanna use this account because of the license etc. but I don't like that Windows recovers all that stuff from the old installation. 

Go to Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings and uncheck Theme under Individual sync settings.
