  1. Delete a Local Log-in


    I have a Windows 10 log-in, and for whatever reason, started creating a local log-in. How can I delete the local log-in mistake I made? My machine defaults to it at log-in, and I have to select the correct profile/log-in. So, I can get into the computer, but the fewer problems, the better.

    :)

  3. Delete Local account and How can I get rid of this "Microsoft Account"?

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are tryin to remove that Microsoft account password login. We will help you.

    To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

    • When you say, delete my Microsoft Account do you wish to switch to Local account from Microsoft account?
    • Do you wish to delete the any other accounts which has been added?
    We cannot delete Microsoft account when we have logged in to the system. However we can switch to Local account from MS account.

    I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:


    • Click on search
      in taskbar and type account.

    • Click on Accounts.

    • Now, under Your account, click on
      Sign in with Local account instead.

    • Enter your Microsoft account password
      for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.

    • Enter User name credentials for your the Local account
      and click OK.

    • Now, login to Local account.
    Please do get back to us with the answers to assist you better with issue you are facing.

    Delete a Local Log-in

    Only write one number to log file and delete old ones?

    Hey,

    I'm trying to have some software read from a .text file a number (GPU Temp) but the software will only the first number in a list (Or the first anything)

    Is there a way to have to log file delete the previous entries and write the new number in it's place without any headers?


    EDIT:

    Sorry I'll try again.

    I have some webcam software that can read a number (or whatever) from a text file and then it displays the number as an overlay.

    See here: http://10.244.193.13:8081/

    I was trying to use GPU-z to do this but as it logs as a list the webcam software can't update properly (also it reads the headings of the file and displays them instead)

    Is there anyway to alter the logging to only output just the number (GPU Temp) and to delete the old numbers so the new value is the only value in the file.
