  1. How do I sign out of my Windows account on a pc?


    I signed in to my account on a computer at work yesterday in order to access my office365 and I was not able to sign out. I don't want my Microsoft Edge bookmarks or my OneDrive to be accessible. I tried signing out every way I knew of but it wouldn't work. It's like my profile became the profile for the general use of the computer (others use the computer for running reports, etc., and some have profiles on it but my profile just seems stuck as the default.) Any one else have this happen? Do you know how to fix it? Thank you!

    :)

  2. sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

    Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup  


    Hello sciencegal, *Smile

    You can have Windows automatically sign in to a local account or Microsoft account. It doesn't matter.

    Is you account listed more than once in netplwiz? Double check to make sure that you have selected the correct account in step 3 Option 1.

    The password is case sensitive, so be sure to enter it exactly for it to work properly.
