Windows 10: How to remove account from Microsoft Defender

Hello everyone, I set up Micorosft Defender to assess the security level of a family member's PC.I now want to remove my account from Microsoft Defender before returning the PC to them so they can log in with their own account.I have deleted my credentials in the windows Credentials Manager, but my account is still visible, and the login is using SSO. I would like at least for my password to be required if I can't completely remove my account until another one is set.Thanks for youre help

:)

Unable to remove my microsoft account from a linked pc

Hi Dave,

To help you with your concern in deleting your Microsoft account from a device, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Have you tried deleting your Microsoft account directly from the old laptop?
• How did you go about removing the account from the old laptop?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you create a new local account with admin rights first, then remove the current Microsoft account by following the steps on this

article.

We look forward to your response.
