Windows 10: Help Removing Microsoft Account login

Out of interest, were you using the built-in administrator account as your user account?

 

windows never gave me the option to change to a local account, did not work!

windows is rubbish, not just this, programs hang, crash

Cubase plays up

autocad the same

intelligently deleting the account windows should on seeing account missing recreate it or delete it, not give up

I reinstated the account but cant change password. its a rubbish OS, no wonder they are giving it away

a modern OS should recover not screw up

if I reinstall will not load win10 will stick with 7 as my many other systems

wait for windows 11 nah wont bother

and all this rubbish to get some phone users onboard

 

For some reason you double posted, your last post is the same you already posted 15 minutes earlier. Please answer the question in my previous post.

 

Hi Kari, I have a similar problem, when windows 10 boots up I must log into Hotmail. I don't want to log in to any account when my system starts up and I can't work out how to reverse the log in requirement. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

I am not sure if you want to switch to a local account instead of your Microsoft account, or if you want to keep your Microsoft account but login automatically instead of having to type the password.

See these tutorials:

• Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup - Windows 10 Forums

 

The problem is quite weird. If the switch option is not available in Windows GUI Interface, please try the method 2 included in the following article:
2 Options to Reset Windows 10 Microsoft Account Password
While resetting the password from a boot CD, it claims the program will also switch your Microsoft account to local account offline. I hope this helps!
