  1. Local Account for sign-in. Microsoft now sending alerts.


    Okay, so I changed to Local User Account so I could get rid of the login requirement that I neither want nor need. Now, though, Microsoft tells me regularly that there's something wrong with my Microsoft accont. Of course, if I click on "fix it", I'd go back to the login prompt I don't want, which I won't do.

    How do I get rid of the nagging "something's wrong with your Microsoft account" messages? I don't want to delete the account because sometimes I have a legitimate need to access Microsoft.

  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

    Signing into Onenote app converts local account to microsoft account

    Steps:

    • Sign into a local account
    • Open the OneNote app (tablet not desktop app)
    • Sign in to this app with a Microsoft account
    The local account is then converted into a Microsoft account with that identity.

    This is wrong and unexpected behaviour as no indication is given that the sign in is for the whole of windows rather than just OneNote.

    It is also hard to revert.

    I am guessing that other apps may exhibit the same behaviour.

    In fact I don't understand how an app (which is supposed to be sandboxed and secure) can change user account information.

  4. Local Account for sign-in. Microsoft now sending alerts.

    "Sign in with local account" button is not working.

    Hi,

    Failure to sign in to your local account can be related to how the user permission is configured on your device. To effectively assist you with your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Which Windows build version is running on your device? Type winver
      in the search box and press Enter to help you identify.
    • Have you made any recent changes on your device prior to your concern?

    As an initial step, we suggest that you create a new user and check if you'll be able to sign in to your local account from there. To create a new user, you can follow the steps provided on this

    link
    .

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
