  1. Reverting back to local account


    I inadvertently bought in to the request to sign in with a Microsoft account instead of my local account. When trying to use my local account at the log in I don't get the option to log in as another user and my old local account is all messed up.

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

  4. Reverting back to local account

    Windows 10 - Want to revert back to local account logon from Microsoft account but can't

    Hello Jill,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    Toe be able to assist you better, let us know the app are you referring to in this case.

    Now, I suggest you to open Advanced User Accounts Control Panel to check if the Local user account exists or not. Please follow below.

    • Press the Windows key and R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box.
    • Enter netplwiz


    If not, I suspect that the Local user account you were using has been connected to the Microsoft Account you own.

    To convert the account back to Local User account, I suggest you to follow the below steps:


    • Sign in to your Microsoft account.

    • Click Start and then PC settings.

    • Click Users and accounts and under your Profile select “Sign in with a local account instead ” option.

    • Enter the required details.

    • Type in a Username, Password, and Password Hint that you want set for your Local account and click
      Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.

    • It will then prepare your local account and your Microsoft account will be disconnected.

    Let us know the results.
