Windows 10: Can I add a OneNote account without it being added to my Windows account settings?

The last couple times I have added a Microsoft account to OneNote, I have found that Windows then adds this account as an account in the Windows account settings, links my OneDrive etc. How can I avoid this happening? I would like to open OneNote notebooks on my work computer but I do not want my personal Microsoft account integrated with my work machine.

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

 

Signing into Onenote app converts local account to microsoft account

Steps:

• Sign into a local account
• Open the OneNote app (tablet not desktop app)
• Sign in to this app with a Microsoft account

The local account is then converted into a Microsoft account with that identity.

This is wrong and unexpected behaviour as no indication is given that the sign in is for the whole of windows rather than just OneNote.

It is also hard to revert.

I am guessing that other apps may exhibit the same behaviour.

In fact I don't understand how an app (which is supposed to be sandboxed and secure) can change user account information.

 

Settings / account “suggestions” added

Hey guys!

Just a question,
I’m settings / accounts I switched my local account to a Microsoft account.. it asked me to verify my account, which I did and now I can see suggestions in accounts.
I don’t know if I’m making sense maybe I can post a screenshot, is this new?

Basically I see suggestions in settings / account underneath my pic...
