Windows 10: Personal MS account blocked even after disconnecting work account on private computer?

Hi! A few months ago, a made the strategic mistake to connect my business account on my personal computer at home. I was asked to "allow the organization to manage my device", to which I believe I said no if that was an option, otherwise I must have said yes, because my Microsoft work account was connected. My OS at the time was Windows 10 Pro. Since then, my system has undergone a variety of changes; in chronological order: - Hardware change mainboard, processor & RAM- Disconnected work account- Upgraded to Windows 11 Pro - Re-activated Windows 11 with a new licence key b/c of activati

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Work computer with Local Account along with personal MS account

I have a work computer with a local account, but I want to bring over my personal settings (Cortana, search history, etc, not files) that are attached to my personal MS account.

I know you can add a MS account (or switch) un der settings, or I can sign in to each app individually. But what is the best way to get a mix of work + personal without carrying over my actual files (onedrive, etc)?

I would hate to create a separate work MS account and profile...

What have you done?

-- Update

Signing into Cortana directly is telling me that from now on, it will using this MS account as the PC signin, which I do not want...

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
