Windows 10: Is there any way to add or remove account via Windows Recovery Options?

Hello everyone. I don't know how to handle this thing and all I'm doing is mess my PC even more. It's none of my possessed computers. I'm trying to fix a computer from a workplace, but it's getting worse unfortunately.


Tried a lot of things. Logged in to an affiliate account. Not mine. I try to log in on startup. It fails because it tells me I need an app from Microsoft Store to log in. A somewhat stupid message that doesn't take me anywhere It stays on the login screen. It kicks me out. I've tried auto repair and it still gets me the same issue. Is there any way to remove accounts via auto repair before I run into a technician?


Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

:)

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Recovery and account

Hi Sarang,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

I understand that you have upgraded to Windows again after performing reset.

Have you tried to restart the system again to check whether the Windows 10 is downgraded to previous version?

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1:

As the Windows 10 creates the new user account automatically, I suggest you to run the Microsoft account troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Refer to the following link to download and run the
Microsoft Account troubleshooter:

Microsoft Account Troubleshooter

Step 2:

As you have linked your Microsoft account in Windows 10, I suggest you to switch back to the local account if you wish.

How to switch to a local account from Microsoft account.

• 
  Press “Windows + I” keys to open settings (When you get the error “Critical error-start menu and Cortana not working”).
  
• 
  Select Accounts.
  
• 
  On the right side, it will show your current account with an option "Switch to a local account”.
  
• 
  Select “switch to a local account” and follow the steps to switch your Microsoft account into a local account. Once this is done your Microsoft account is safe and not linked with that computer anymore.
  

Note:

• 
  You may not delete the recovery drive, as it will help you to recover the Windows in future if the Windows is not working properly.
  
• 
  If you are using Microsoft account to login to Windows 10, there is no option to disable the password and sign in to Windows 10 directly without entering password. If you are using Local account to login to Windows 10, you can
  disable the password and sign in to Windows 10 directly without entering password.
