    Forced MS Sign in Custom Install

    Brink's post is #3 in that thread [this link takes you straight to that post] - From 7 Pro to win 10 but do NOT want MS acc, just Local User Acc, HOW?

    Brink has now included that in his Clean install tutorial at Step 24 [again, this link takes you straight to the relevant part] - Clean Install Windows 10

    Verify identity MS acc


    I've had this before. I go into the users GUI and see under my acc it wants me to verify. I click it and it goes away and back to normal. Its rare, it happened once months ago and and now again this evening. I prob wont be bothered by it for another few weeks or months. But why does it happen? Is it intended MS check
