    My computer does not allow Log in when I do not have internet. RESOLVE please. Microsoft take note we are in Africa. There is not always internet! Correct this silly requirement. I want to use my computer even when offline and access my computer! This is really a ridiculous setting - You force me to login at microsoft but prevent login if there is no INTERNET!!
