Windows 10: Why Windows keep giving option to login with Email and phone instead of local account?

Why Windows keep giving option to login with Email and phone instead of local account?









Note: Have to wait out the above screen in order to login with local account.


Steps tried, which did not help:

- Settings > accounts > Your Info > shows local account. Unsure why Windows first bring email/phone login screen.
- From Settings > accounts > Email & Accounts I click manage > *** Email address is removed for privacy *** > this opened:
https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r/#/profile > found PCNAME is joined. I disabled it.
- Credential manager shows no Windows credential saved.
- OS Win10x64Pro Build: 17763

What is causing this issue and how can I fix it?

changing computer login screen email address

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience caused and will assist you.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

• Navigate to Start>Settings>Account>Your Account.
• In the right pane, click on Sign in with a local account instead.
• Provide your current Microsoft Account Password.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• You can leave the Enter Password option empty, however, it is highly recommended to keep a password on your system to keep it safe.
  

After you have logged in with a local account follow the steps to login using a different Microsoft Account.

Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Switch from Microsoft Personal Account to Local Account - "Sign in with a local account instead" option is missing

I was guided to use my Microsoft Personal Account for login when setting up a new PC with Windows 10.

(I think) I want to change it back to Local Account Login because:

• It's a shared home PC and I don't want my everyday sign-in password used multiple times a day to = my MSFT password
• I only have 365 and OneDrive and only on one Device (this PC)
• I don't use either much so there seems to be unnecessary online verification and syncing going on and endless attempts to claw me to services I have no desire for, much as I love microsoft.

• The bit I'm not clear on is Pros/Con's of Family Accounts when using Local Account vs Microsoft Account. My main requirements are to keep some docs private from the kids but share all photo's, music, Video's etc in one place and not give them admin rights.
• Q1: Welcome any comment on these being good reasons or not to want Local Account Login
  

Unfortunately, the Option for "Sign in with a local account instead" is not visible.

• I've reviewed other posts and followed suggestions to run SFC and DSIM (No issues), Start + R and Opened netplwiz (ok)
• Consensus seems to be to Add a New Local Account as if it was for someone else
  
  Link. This feels like a workaround because something unexplained has happened and it is a brand new PC so I'd much rather solve root cause.
• Q2: How can I recover the "Sign in with a local account instead" option?
• Q3: If the only answer to Q2 is use the workaround, can I subsequently remove the Microsoft Account so it is not part of the Login process? (Assumes I can still
  access 365 and OneDrive as I did on my old PC)

Sorry for long post. Thanks in advance.
