Windows 10: Local account replaced by Microsoft account after a canceled Microsoft store login, need to...

I was using a Windows 11 system with only a local account. After a log in attempt at the Microsoft store that local account was suddenly converted into a Microsoft account, even though I canceled the log in procedure at the point where it tells you that Windows will also use my credentials to log into other services if I proceed.I need to revert this account back to being a local one, as I do not want this machine to share any user data with that Microsoft account, or have access to anything related to that account.It has also currently mounted that accounts Onedrive, and have redirected My do

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.

• Store Apps (says i have to login in my microsoft account but thats the problem, i can't)
• Microsoft Accounts

No Problem found. Also the suggestions from Microsoft didnt helped.

 

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

I was thinking of doing that, but it will be a PITA setting everything up on the 2nd account again. I might go that way and just spend the time getting the account in order.

The problem is, I would need to switch at the start of every day. Extra reset and waiting for the settings to be applied etc. Also, I'm not sure whether one drive would be maintained after switching back to a local account. I wouldn't want to have to re-sync every time I logged in. I may have to do some testing to see if onedrive is maintained after switching back to a local account.
