Windows 10: Wrong account management in window 10

Hi,

I have up-to-date Windows 10 connected to my personal outlook account and as a sign-in method I use PIN. Everything worked without problems until corona hit us and school of my kid wanted to do remote learning through MS Teams.


They created school Microsoft account for us and I installed and connected Teams to it. Seem good right? But what I didn't know is that Teams integration caused that school account was added to windows accounts as a School or organization account. So Windows had 2 accounts: one personal and one was "my" organization. Then I wanted to change a PIN I was still using to sign-in to my computer but - settings said that "my" organization - school - doesn't allow that! And of course all PIN options were missing from settings.


I've already found a solution - I had to remove that school account from windows, change PIN and then connect it back. Luckily remote learning ended so I could remove it completely and now it works.


It's just completely bad idea to use a random organization account I just need for some application in windows security sign-in process. What if I had to communicate with school and my colleagues? I would have 2 organization accounts with completely different settings and one personal account. I don't care what settings those organizations have, it's my home personal computer and I'm the only administrator it should care about.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
