A Very Odd Case-Settings Sharing In Apex Legends
Background:
I think many people change a keybind or two when they first start a game. My brother doesn't. My issue was attempted to be solved by and advisor, but is inevitably unsolved.
The Case:
I use very odd keybinds. My brother doesn't. We kept changing and changing our settings back and forth, even changing our account passwords, and each other's settings kept getting changed. Finally, we found that no matter who sets settings on a particular computer, the settings traverse to any EA account. Does anybody know how to solve this issue? Any helpful input? All replies are helpful.
Thank you,

Create another Windows account then the game profile will be a per windows user setting as the key configs are saved in
%userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg
your other option is to have a batch file or powershell script which will copy a backup of the settings.cfg to the profile location
you can have it with menu launch for yourself and for your brother it copies the keyconfig in place on launch.
setup the keys how you like them save exit the game copy
%userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg
to a folder / Directory call it mine.cfg have your brother set his keys up in game save and then copy
%userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg
have him call it bros.cfg
Put the folder anywhere on your machine copy the apex legends shortcut into the folder you should have 4 files inside it after creating the Profileswitcher.bat which is tacked on to the end here.
...
Apex Legends.lnk
bros.cfg
mine.cfg
ProfileSwitcher.bat
....
Create a txt file called profileswitcher change the extension to .bat
After this copy text after : into your profileswitcher.bat
