  1. How do I make search stop telling me to sign in.


    I know that a huge part of Windows 10 is that they are trying to make it all on the cloud, but I feel MUCH more secure with everything on my computer. I will want to use the cloud for some things, but not for everything.

    The thing I want to avoid the most is using my Microsoft account to sign into my computer. I want to have my own local account that is separate from all internet as my computer login. If I want to do stuff online, I will go to the browser.

    My annoyance is that Every time I try to search for a folder or program using the search button, it opens Cortana, who immediately asks me to sign in with my Microsoft account. At first I was fine with it, but then I noticed that it changed my computer login into my Microsoft account login.

    Is there a way to make Cortana stop telling me to sign in to Microsoft every time I try to search for a folder? It is really annoying.

    :)

    How do I stop Windows 10 from asking me to sign-in?

    click start, type netplwiz and press enter

    untick the "users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

    click apply

    you will be asked for a username and password, if you are using a Microsoft account, enter the full email address associated with your Microsoft account, if its a local account enter the username.

    click ok and ok

    it will now not ask you to log in when you start the computer
