Windows 10: Hello! Recently I found something really weird in my Microsoft account settings!

Hey! Why I can find in my account settings all information about every windows device I ever used? Why windows doesn't ask me about it at installation, before turning it on? It literally stalks me! How can I disable this function?

Trouble setting up Windows Hello in new microsoft account

Hello,

If you are prompted that you have already set up Windows Hello, you might already have set up Windows Hello on your account. For us to properly assist you in setting up Windows Hello, kindly respond to the questions below:

• When you say "the other account has been deleted", is it deleted from the computer? Or, the Microsoft account has been closed?
• Is the new Microsoft account associated with a local account?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far? This is for us to know and to avoid any duplication of efforts on your end.

We look forward to your response.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
