Windows 10: Can't search without signing in?

I'm having problems using the search on windows 10 being on a local account. I don't want to be signed in, but it's forcing me to or I can't search or properly see the start menu. I guess it was dumb of me to click next on the search feature but I didn't think it would always ask me to sign in. Is there anyway to disable this?

"The Group Policy Client service failed the logon" Error, CAN'T LOGIN AT ALL

The problem is, I can't do either of that, I can't even sign in to search for anything and same thing goes with editing the registry. Unless I can do something in the BIOS menu which might help. To be honest I really don't know what to do cause I've tried
everything I can but it just doesn't let me sign in to do any fixes. As the rest of the fixes on the error you have to sign in. Is there a way you can open cmd without logging in? Like from bios or anything like that.

 

How do I search for a file on my computer drives?

It is making me sign in. Why do I have to sign in?

Can't this be a normal search?

 

I think that issue will be cleared up in the next update in November. You should be able to use a local account and do searches.

HTH.

Hmmmm... it's not a problem on my local account. I'm using the upgrade build form 7/29/2015, not a insider build.

 

Good deal, I don't use that search function so It's hard to me to tell.
Thanks for the information

Search works fine for me on local account. Perhaps @BunnyJ was thinking of Cortana (which you can use only with MS account at present) rather than Search.

If you click on "next" for Cortana on a local account it will ask you to sign in to MS account. If you just cancel it doesn't ask again (for me anyway). @OP is it asking you repeatedly?

 

There is no cancel for me. Once I clicked next that was it, no escape. I also turned Cortana off but that didn't help.


[EDIT]

I got it working. I signed into my account and then noticed another option with Cortana on and disabled it, then switched back to a local account and now I can use the search without being forced to sign in.
