I sign-in to Windows with my Microsoft Account. How can I sign-in with a local profile not using Microsoft Account in the Administrator group? Thanks.

Thanks, but I don't see "sign in as a local user". In "your info", I see the screenshot below. By the way, I want to my local profile to retain Administrator privileges.

Hi Simonalee,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

From the description, it appears that you are not able to sign in to user account. This issue appears if the user profile is corrupted.

I suggest you to remove the account and then try to create new user profile.

To do so:

1) Type settings in the search box and then click on Settings app.

2) Click on Accounts and then select Family and other users.

3) In the right pane, try to add the family member and check if it helps.

If the issue still persists, Check to see if it works by converting the Microsoft Account to Local and then back to Microsoft Account. Here`s how:

• Go to Settings from the Start Menu.
• Click Accounts. Under Your Account, click Sign in with a Local Account instead.
• Follow the instructions. Sign Out and Sign in.
• Then convert back to Microsoft Account.

To connect back to the Microsoft Account, you will perform similar steps:

• Go to Settings from the Start Menu.
• Click Accounts. Under Your Account, click Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead.
• Follow the instructions. Sign Out and Sign in.
• Your account should now be connected again.

Let us know if this helped.
