  2. "Sign in with local account" button is not working.

    Hi,

    Failure to sign in to your local account can be related to how the user permission is configured on your device. To effectively assist you with your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Which Windows build version is running on your device? Type winver
      in the search box and press Enter to help you identify.
    • Have you made any recent changes on your device prior to your concern?

    As an initial step, we suggest that you create a new user and check if you'll be able to sign in to your local account from there. To create a new user, you can follow the steps provided on this

    link
    .

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
     
  3. Recently upgraded to Win 10 and didn't like signing in with password so I changed to a local user and now I want to change back.

    That doesn't work if you are signed in as a local user. See how I solved it below using Control/Alt/Del, switching users then turning off my computer. When I log back on I can go into setting and delete the local account .
