  2. After factory reset, microsoft account is still there

    I suggest that you add a local account first on your PC, before removing the other account. Follow the steps below:

    • To create a local account on your Windows 10 PC:
    1. Press the Windows key + R.
    2. Type netplwiz, and then click OK.
    3. Click Add.
    4. Click Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended).
    5. Click Local account, type a username, and a password (if you'd like one).
    6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
    7. Sign out of the Microsoft account you want to delete, sign in using the local account you created, and then remove the account you want to delete.
    • To remove a Microsoft account from your Windows 10 PC:
    1. Click the Start button, and then click Settings.
    2. Click Accounts, scroll down, and then click the Microsoft account you would like to delete.
    3. Click Remove, and then click Yes.

    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 Would factory resetting mt computer delete my Microsoft account? :(

    Undo Built-in Administrator Account tied to a Microsoft Account

    Hello @Converseallstar95, Would factory resetting mt computer delete my Microsoft account? :)

    Could it be that the built-in Administrator may just be signed in to the Store app with the Microsoft account?

    If so, then you could reset the "Microsoft Store" app back to default to see if that may remove the association.

    If not, then check to see if it may be listed using step 3 in Option Two below, and can be removed.
