Desktops talk to each other?


 

OK, it is a Windows thing but it originates on my iMac Boot Camp.

I changed my Boot Camp’s desktop to a screenshot from EverQuest, then today went to update my Dell laptop to Windows 11. I was very surprised to see that the desktop picture, previously the normal Windows 10 blue spheres, had changed to my Boot Camp’s picture; is this normal?

You probably have hand off turned on — I use handoff iPad to iMac and I can see husband’s powerbook because its on my itunes account as well. I should throw him off and get him to mind his own stuff.

Handoff? I’m not sure if I have that on; if I do, it’s accidental, so must check. I do have Microsoft Remote Desktop on my MBPro but it tells me I have “no user account”. Could that be part of it? Mind you this is in the house, while my iMac is about 200feet away, at the top of the garden.

I don’t seem to have Sidecar; it must be Windows doing this, I suppose. ?/sigh
