  1. Trying to unlink this computer's Windows 10 account from my personal Hotmail.com account


    So here's the issue. I'm working on a computer at my church. In the normal, everyday way, I installed the Windows 10 2004 update to make sure the computer didn't try to do it during a church service. When I logged back in the new EDGE opened up and I went through having a look to see what it was like and if the church media would want to use it. I did this using my personal hotmail.com account which now I realize was a mistake. Because of that, Edge then linked my personal email to the church's Windows 10 account. All attempts to separate the two have been failures. If I do it from the settings in Windows 10, Edge just puts them back together. If I do it from Edge, the computer acts as if the separation never occurred. I tried changing the email linked to the account, but now both Edge and Windows 10 think my personal account is the church's email address. When trying to change that back, now I'm being told my account doesn't exist. When I go to recreate it, I'm told it's already taken.

    I ran out of ideas ages ago and I can't seem to find any previously resolved help on the matter. I just want to put my personal account back under my own name with my old email address and separate it from the church's computer. Send help please.

    :)

    Window 10 Auto-Logon (Hotmail/MS Account)

    Hello everyone!

    So, i've updated my PC to Windows 10 and i have a little problem.

    Anyone knows how to auto-logon without asking for password using Hotmail/MS Account? I i've already tried the trick using "netplwiz" from Windows 8 wich always worked totally, and in Win10 it just does not work, it keeps asking me for password...

    Anyone knows how to bypass this without having to create a local account?

    Cheers.

    Trying to unlink this computer's Windows 10 account from my personal Hotmail.com account

    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 Trying to unlink this computer's Windows 10 account from my personal Hotmail.com account :(
