  1. Remove a locked school account from Windows Accounts without signing in


    I have just finished my studies and my student account Microsoft 365 has been locked. Now, I can't seem to remove it from the Settings menu on my laptop because it requires signing in.Is there a way to remove it without accessing the account through the pop-up login screen in settings?Thank you in advance!

    :)

    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 or school account can't be removed from the device

    First of all, are you using a Microsoft account or a local account to sign in to your PC? I really don't see an issue with the current user account if you're trying to remove a different Microsoft account in Settings.

    Did you have Office 365 installed before and your work/school account added to it? What does it exactly say when you try to manage that account in Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts? Usually it will open a new windows where you sign in, although even if
    you sign in to it, I don't think you can do anything relevant unless you're one of the administrators for that work/school network.

    You can try these steps and see if it will work for you. Please make sure you're sign in to an administrator account in your PC first:

    1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info

    2. Click "Sign in with a local account instead" if your Microsoft account is added. You might be signed out after this step.

    3. Sign back in. Then go to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school

    4. Click "Disconnect" and see if that works.

    If it worked, you can sign your Microsoft account back in.

    You can refer to the link below for more info:

    Please tell me whatever the results are.

    Remove a locked school account from Windows Accounts without signing in

    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 Remove a locked school account from Windows Accounts without signing in :(
