Windows 10: MS Account Sign-In on Desktop on Booting up every time - how to remove

I've upgraded my Win 8/8.1 laptop to Windows 10 and it seems to be running well.

However, on booting up, I now get a window appear on the desktop asking me to Sign In to my MS Account. I can click on the cross at top right hand corner to close the window but I'd rather it didn't appear in the first place.

I don't have to log in when booting up, because I have chosen not to so I don't really want this window either.

What are the implications if I do signup/in? I do have an MS account so that's not the issue. I'd prefer not to have MS intruding on everything I do. I am happy to sign in if I want to go to the store but, otherwise, I don't see any reason for signing in.

Hopefully, someone can suggest how I can be rid of this window?

Many thanks for help and advice. It is much appreciated

:)

 

DON'T WANT TO SIGN IN WITH MY MS ACCOUNT EVERY TIME I USE THE COMPUTER

• Run C:\Windows\System32\Netplwiz.exe then select your user account and clear the checkbox for
  users must sign in with a password.
• Then just confirm it [it asks for your password once or twice] and you will not have to sign in when you start or restart your computer.

Check that you have your password written down somewhere handy yet secure from prying eyes & loss.

You will log into your account automatically and will have the same access as you have now - the only change is the automation.

if i sign in with a user account on windows 10 so I don't have to sign in every time (very annoying) can I access all the info I already have stored on my computer?

Hello Energise, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

It sounds like you are currently signing in with a Microsoft account, and the message is asking you to sign in to verify.

Thanks, Brink
I'm too tired to take all that in and to understand it so it'll have to wait for another day when my brain is working a bit better.
Cheers
