Dota-2 Profile on Shared PC

Dota-2 Profile on Shared PC - Man Wearing Gray Blazer

My brother and I share a PC for Dota2, but we have separate Steam accounts. The Dota2 settings are same for both of us, including hot-keys, chat-wheel, auto-attack and others. If one of us changes the settings, they get changed for the other one as well. Does some setting need be changed for separate profiles or is this just a bug? Thanks.

Edit: We also have separate Windows accounts.
