  1. Account settings showing two user profiles after moving from local to microsoft


    This is only happening/affect Account settings, both profiles are identical, one with my account picture and one without. Only happened since doing a clean install of the 2004 update common practise for me due to prior issues with feature updates. Never had this issue before, and also before the update, my settings app was with a banner, it's now without. Wondering if it's connected.

    Local and Microsoft account

    In that case, check to make sure that only your MSA is listed in the same settings below while signed in to Windows 10 with your MSA.

    If it is only your MSA listed, then check to make sure that you have your picture set for your MSA online at Microsoft.

    *Arrow Sign in to your Microsoft account

  3. How to Change Microsoft user account to local user account

    Hi Pchelpmenow,

    At this situation, what I can suggest you is you have to convert the Microsoft user account to local user account.


    • Log to the system using her user account.

    • Go to settings and click on Accounts.

    • Click on Your email and accounts and click on
      Sign-in with a local account instead.

    • Enter the password, click on Next
      and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into local account.
    Hope this helps. Let us know the result for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    Convert online Microsoft Azure account to local account?

    Unfortunately, you cannot switch an Azure AD account to a local or Microsoft account. You need to create a new user account first, make it an admin account, then disconnect from your organizational account, restart and sign in to new local account.

    All software remains installed and intact but all user specific customizations and settings are lost, new local user starting from scratch with default settings.

    The whole process step by step:

    1.) Copy your personal data (documents, images etc.) from current Azure AD user profile folder to respective folders in C:\Users\Public

    2.) In Settings > Accounts > Other people, add a new local user (see Option One in this tutorial)

    3.) Check that everything is correct, that you will see your Azure AD account under Work or school users (yellow highlight), and your new local admin account under Other people (blue highlight):

    4.) Select Access work or school on left pane, select the connected Azure AD domain, click Disconnect:

    5.) Click Yes:

    6.) Click Disconnect:

    7.) Enter the username and password for your new local admin account, click OK:

    8.) Click Restart now:

    9.) When back on desktop with your new local admin account, move personal data from Public folder and its subfolders you backed up in step 1 above to respective subfolders on new user profile folder. If the old Azure AD user profile folder is still present in Users folder, it can be deleted now.

    That's it.
