    Local Account Login, Rewards Sign In, Top of Settings Window


    Hello,


    We do not allow Microsoft account logins on our computers. We use local account login only. This is set by policy.


    After doing the latest update 2020-12-03, I have noticed that one of our laptops has an odd issue. It tries to force the user to use a Microsoft account to login and synchronize settings. It gives two options: Remind me later or Continue. It prompts the user each time the computer is restarted.


    However, synchronization is disabled for all of our devices in group policy, so this message shouldn't be appearing.


    Today, a series of messages appeared at the top of the Settings window, as shown in the image below. Can someone please provide assistance in correcting the behavior. I am happy to make the appropriate changes to the registry of that will fix this issue. I have tried restarted multiple times, but these top three links always appear in the settings box.


    Clicking on any of the three links at the top of the screen causes a momentary flicker and a screen briefly appears then disappears, but none actually do anything. It appears to be hung up in an odd mode. In addition, the user that logged in has closed out his reward account, so that should also not be appearing.


    Regards...

    Login screen presents both local and MS account sign in


    I set up a new tablet with windows 10 and began with a Local account so I could choose my user name. Then I signed in with my MS account to sync settings.

    When I start the tablet the login screen asks for my pin. I want to be able to automatically login without entering a pin or password. To do that I use netplwiz and uncheck the option to require a password for login. So far so good.

    But when the tablet restarts I am presented with a login screen that now shows two accounts, my MS account and what appears to be a local account but with the same name. If I then reverse the process and enable the "require a password" option in netplwiz there is only one account shown on the login screen but then I have to use a pin or password.

    How do I remove that second local account on the login screen and then login automatically? There is only one account listed in the user account settings page.

  3. Use a Local user Account to login to Windows 10 PC

    Hello Vojta,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that you want a Local user account to login to your computer.

    • Click Start and then PC settings.

    • Click Users and accounts and under your Profile select “Sign in with a local account instead ” option.

    • Enter the required details.

    • Type in a Username, Password, and Password Hint that you want set for your Local account and click
      Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.

    Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.
