Windows 10: Microsoft Store Logout

When I try to sign out of my Microsoft Account on the Microsoft Store, it does not let me. I click sign out, put in my other accounts info, click log in, but it brings me back to the original account. I have seen someone else with a similar problem and were told to look in the settings for a certain button reading something along the lines of, "Sign out with all applications" However, that button does not appear for me. I have tried using the "Sign in with a local account instead" button, but this does not work either. How can I sign into a different Microsoft Account?

no logout - microsoft account

I'm not really sure what the exact nature of your problem is but you need a Microsoft account setup on the phone to be able to access the store and download apps. The same account is also used to backup content on the phone to your MS account online such
as contacts, pictures & videos (Skydrive), messages and applications list & data.



As Farby suggested, you can tell the phone not to sync emails from this MS account if you want but you cannot remove your MS account for the above stated reasons.
