Windows 10: I selected "remember my settings on this device" and now I'm never asked for an MS...

On my Win10 tablet, I selected "remember my settings on this device" and now whenever I put in my MS user name, I'm logged on without being asked for a password.


I do not want this behavior. I know lots of people **** and moan about having to remember so many passwords, but I like and want the extra level of security this brings.


On my Win7 desktop, I did not select this option and yet whenever I enter my user name for my work-based Teams account, I am automatically logged on - without having to enter my password.


How how do I reverse this on both the Win7 and Win10 platforms?

Just an FYI to Microsoft... As a 25+ year technical communicator, I can tell you that words matter.


"Settings" refer to configuration details. A "Password" is about security and should never be considered a "setting". So when you ask a customer if they want their "Settings" saved, do not automatically include their "Password" in that save process.

confused about selecting boot device


This is good information but I am confused about step 2 below. Wouldn't I need to select whatever device, USB or DVD, the install media is on at this point and not how I want the final install to boot?
Thanks,and sorry for dragging up an old post but it had most of the info I was looking for.

It is up to you whether you want to install Windows using MBR or GPT and you need to set the option in the BIOS for MBR or GPT style installation.

Having said that. Here's the steps:

1. Disconnect all HD/SSD except the one you will be installing Windows
2. From the boot menu, Select #1 for GPT or select #2 for MBR to boot up the Windows Installation

   NOTE: The screen is an example and might look different from yours
3. Once the Windows Installation started. On the first screen, Press and hold SHIFT Key + F10, a command Windows will popup then type:
   - diskpart
   - select disk 0
   - Clean
   - Exit
   - Exit
4. Click Next to continue.
5. Select Custom
6. Select the first unallocated partition and click next. Windows will create all needed partitions to install Windows 10
7. Follow all the rest of the instruction to complete.

MBR installation:

1. 500MB System Reserved partition
2. C: Drive

GPT installation:

1. 450MB recovery partition
2. 100MB EFI System Partition
3. 16MB MSR partition
4. C drive.

Default Program Settings Not Setting/Selecting


I have read a lot of posted articles using Google search, but none of them are quite the problem I am experiencing.

My hardware is an ASUS Transformer T100TAM. It came with Win 10, but husband installed our registered Win7 in order to get the free Win10 upgrade.

When I go to Settings->Set Default Programs I have found 2 problems.

(1) an application I have installed (EditPad by JGSoft and Adobe Acrobat Pro) is not available to be selected as a default application instead of OneNote or NotePad or Edge.

and
(2) when the application I want is available from the list and I select it, nothing happens. For example, under select default browser, FireFox, MS Edge and MS IE display. No matter which one I select, it returns to the "choose a default" as if I never selected anything. (What I want is FireFox). I have tried setting using by file type (extensions) and protocols. Same result.

Some articles I read suggested the problem is somehow related to the manner in which the OS was upgraded but I found no solutions to the problem.

I would really like to have my preferred text editor, browser and PDF Editor as the defaults and not be constantly asked to set them in settings where I can not.

Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.

 

Charged for MS Office 365 without asking

OK but if you cant email or contact through web page how on earth can you do it, I have tried phoning but only get Mr Robot giving a list of numbers to choose from I think the best way is as Berton suggests.
