Windows 10: Microsoft apps & services

Is there a way to de-link Microsoft apps & services from my Google account? I am pretty sure I don't want to link these two things. It isn't a security thing. I did it myself, but I would like to know if there is a way to undo it.

Thank you,

My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
