Windows 10: Allowing Local Standard Account Log On As Batch Job Rights

Hi,

At the risk of sounding naive, I hope someone can help with the following situation.

I created a task in Task Scheduler for the standard user account to have Windows Defender check for and update signatures every 3 hours rather than the once per day default setting.

However, when running the task the command prompt window remained open, which I did not want.

I logged in as administrator and as the title says allowed the standard user log on as a batch job rights which then allowed me to set the task to not have the window open.

So far so good, but the question is whether or not I have now lowered the security of both the standard and admin accounts by changing the setting in secpol.msc to allow the rights.

Any input appreciated, even if the suggestion is to undo what I set up.

Thanks!

:)

 

Switch Back to Existing Local Account from Microsoft Account

I already identified that I had tried this, and that it did not allow me to switch back to the original Local Account. The Microsoft Account hijacked the User Name of the original Local Account. When I click "Sign in With a Local Account instead" and enter
the original User Name, Windows 10 won't proceed. The only way to get back to a Local Account is enter a new User Name.

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
