    I've been searching for a solution to this issue and found it to be very common and widespread among Windows 10/11 users.

  3. Switch local account to Microsoft login

    I initially made a local account on my computer, but want to have this account info switched to my Microsoft login without having to manually move all user info.

    Most online searching mentions a link to "login to Microsoft account", but that is not displayed in my user account area. My situation is just like the unresolved problem in this thread, and like him that last suggestion only takes me to the online login

    Redirecting

    I would appreciate any help to figure this out!

    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.
