    Microsoft account stays logged in even after logging out


    I couldn't find a suitable place for this question, so I went with "Windows."The short if it: my Microsoft account stays logged in even after logging out, on Chrome browser, Windows 10. No matter how many times I sign out, everytime I go back to accounts.microsoft.com my account remains signed in I don't need to enter any username/password, it's just still signed in. The only remedy I've found is to delete all history and cookies for live.com, microsoft.com, and maybe a couple other domains I don't recall right now --- but that's not a true remedy. When I tell the system to sign out of

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.

    Staying logged on

    Thank you - that seems to have solved my problem. (But why could I not have been told this in the first place (rather than requiring me to look for "lower right hand corner select Screen Saver" direct from the Personalisation screen?!(
