Windows 10: Cannot change account to sign in with at "Advanced app settings" sign in

Hey guys,I'm having an issue with trying to sign in with my primary Microsoft account in the "Advanced app settings" section of Windows settings settings > apps> Advanced app settings > "Sign in with your Microsoft account to continue app experiences across your devices". See image: https://ibb.co/5nCvmY2The email address shown in the top left corner See attached image: https://ibb.co/k11vCWF is not my primary address, and I don't seem to be able to change it. Click the back button simply closes the sign-in dialogue box.Any help you could give would be great.Thanks very much.

App Store sign-in error, 0xD000000D

Hi Suzanne,

There's a possibility that you are currently signed in on your computer using your local account. For us to sort this out, we suggest that you sign in with your Microsoft account instead. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings > Accounts > Your email and accounts.
• Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once signed in with your Microsoft account on your computer, try signing into the Windows Store app.

Update us with the result.

Regards.

 

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.
