Norton 360 Keeps Changing My Desktop

Hello. I need serious help as I am coming very close to canceling my subscription to Norton.

Every time I open my laptop, something has changed cause of Norton. I have tried to stop the sharing on one drive, yet I keep getting stuff downloaded to my laptop that i do not want there. I have turned off sync as I have both a desktop and a laptop. Items on my desktop, I do not want on my laptop. But it seems to matter what I do, keeps syncing and I cant figure out why. I opened my laptop today and several short-cut folders where gone, AGAIN. Shouldn't it be my option on if I want my files backed up and synced?? I am so frustrated, cause I have to constantly reorganize my screen and replace things.

I have turned off syncing and One Drive. And I'm constantly deleted things placed on my desktop from One Drive. It seems as soon as i delete it, its gets put their again.

Another problem is when I change my folders to have specific Icon images. For example, my pictures folder has a picture of a camera rather that just the folder picture (its not needed, but I do it as it makes my desktop look neater).

one drive i believe is microsoft feature

the syncing you mention is a windows flaw

i dont believe norton  has ever had such a feature , i do know norton have a backup /cloud feature but not what you are describing

 

you would need to go to the settings and turn off one drive etc..

Norton does not sync anything between your devices. There must be some other app doing this.

You say you "have tried to stop the sharing on One Drive". Were you successful? That sounds like something that might be involved.
