How do you stop syncing backgrounds on one specific computer?

On Windows, you have the ability to sync wallpapers. This is generally a rather neat feature, and I like it very much.

I am logged into my Microsoft account at work, and I would like to have a different wallpaper there.

I've looked over the net, and there are plenty of helpful articles that tell me how to disable wallpaper syncing - but that is not my goal. I want wallpapers to sync. Just not on this single PC.

Is there a way to override the syncing rules for one PC only, without impacting the others?

  4. On Individual sync settings part, turn off the option labeled Theme to stop Windows 10 from syncing your Windows 10 wallpaper across devices.
