    Need to logout of a Microsoft account on my pc


    I was hacked a while ago and they are logged into my computer on their Microsoft account and I can't log out. I've tried to sign in with local and I don't multiple virus scans but I can't get them logged out of my pc. Any way to fix this?

    :)

    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.

    Logout warning "Someone else is still using this pc"

    Just to make it clear what I'm looking at here are the steps I take to produce this issue.
    1. Log into account Novice (user, local account) and allow the startup to complete.
    At this point Task manager only lists one User.
    2. Right click "Start" > select either "Restart" or "Shut down" > power up
    3. Log into Expert (admin, local account)
    Task Manager now lists two Users (Expert and Novice); Novice is disconnected.

    In "Start" > "User" (Not sure if User it correct it is the icon that lists all users and allows switching accounts) it shows Novice is Signed in.

    Thus, for this system, a shutdown does not apparently log the user out.
    I now have two ways to avoid the "Someone else is still using this pc" error when logging out. Either log out using Alt-F4, or after logging back in, look for another user logged in, switch accounts, sign out, log back in to the desired account.

    I'm going to get back to using Alt-F4 as my favorite way to close down.

    While I know this is abnormal, I am surprised that no other user has the same issue! I feel soooo special. ROFL
