  1. Remove local login option on Windows 10 account


    Hi,


    I have a computer which was originally setup with a local account and now it uses a Microsoft business account.


    However, upon login, I still see the local credentials login option which appears by default. This is not another user account, just another login option.


    How do I delete that so that only the Microsoft account login remains?


    Thanks,

    Florian

    :)

    Can't remove local account

    Since Pete Crane is the name you have registered for your gmail.com account, I think the problem is to do with that type of account and not a local account.

    I suggest you go back to your initial post at the top of the page, click on the Edit post control you will see underneath it then change the title Can't remove local account to something like GMail user account listed twice on login screen.

    That change of title will attract the attention of those who understand online accounts. I never use them so I cannot help.

    I am not sure if you want to switch to a local account instead of your Microsoft account, or if you want to keep your Microsoft account but login automatically instead of having to type the password.
