How to fix All My Personal Home Devices?

My account is a home personal one and it is being treated as a business account. I am and should be the only one on the account and have had my password reset constantly, passkeys removed, I keep kicking intruders off the account, yet I get nowhere but in a rabbit hole, as if it is allowed to go on, and I'm the problem. I log in and password has been changed by someone else. My printer/scanner hasn't worked for about a year, I purchased another (I don't like) and that one doesn't function as well now. I have done the trouble shooting and taken it all the way to factory setting but think it is set up wrong in the properties. My account looks different every time I open it. My desktop expanded to more than one and Security keeps suggesting of some other location "I use sometimes" as an IP address. I only use my own personal home office space for over a year period. All my folders and files since 2006 are gone. I've clicked and looked but they are empty. I am to the point now to just terminate the account because today I was declined the right to install or uninstall apps on my own device! It is my home personal laptop and I can't even use it for as long as my printer has been unusable. What do I have to do to get my own devices in my own home back?

    Hello SusanSwedar-6228,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Before we proceed further, may I know more about the issues to better understanding it? May I have a photo of them to check for you? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting. Also, do you have any other accounts and do they have the same issues when you use with the same computer?

    I'm waiting for your reply.
