Windows 10: Computer prompting to enter Microsoft password after logging in the Microsof account into Xbox one app.

Hi Chris,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in system settings and use account settings.

To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "now requires a password to access it's my Microsoft password", are you logged in as Local Account in the Desktop computer prior automatic changing to Microsoft Account?
• When you say that "i have work laptop, HP, NOT on home network", are you logged in as Microsoft Account in the Work laptop?

If you were logged in as Local Account and then it has been changed into Microsoft Account. In that case, I suggest you to try to sign in back to Local Account through steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Select the Start
  
  button, then select
  Settings > Accounts > Your account.
  
• 
  Select Sign in with a Local Account Instead.
  
• 
  Follow the prompts to switch to a Local Account. Verify the Local Account's user name and password.
  

Please get back to us with an update on issue with automatic changing to Microsoft Account in Windows 10, we will be happy to help.
