  1. Two Laptops, One Microsoft account, synching not working right


    HiI have a Lenovo Thinkpad with a few programs and several desktop icons that are shortcuts to places such as Chrome logins, Zoom, YouTube etc. When I have been using this laptop I log in as an administrator and use my main Microsoft account. I synch One Drive across this laptop and other devices such as my iPhone and iPads. My kids will sometime use the laptop under my administrator login but use their own Microsoft accounts. I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga as a second device easier to travel with and for the kids to use. When I set it up I used my same administrator and Microsoft account

    Problem When Right Clicking on Empty Area and Can't Change to Local Account from Microsoft Account

    Hello Ray,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    As per the issue description you are unable to use right click and change the Microsoft account to local account. I would suggest you to follow the steps provided below and see if it helps you to change the Microsoft account to local account.

    Follow these steps to create a “Local User account”.

    • Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
    • Then select “Users” from the left panel.
    • You will get an option “Switch to a Local account” right below your user account name.
    • Select “Switch to a local account” option.
    • Enter the required details.
    • Then login to the local account and check how it works.

    If issue persists try to create new user profile as an administrator and see if issue persists in new user profile. For creating new user profile you may refer to the steps provided below.


    • Press Windows key + R

    • Type control userpasswords2 and click OK

    • Click on add under users tab

    • Click the option, "Sign-in without a Microsoft account

    • Click on Local account

    • Choose a name for the account

    • Add password if you want to

    • Apply and click OK.

    For more information you may refer to the article mentioned below and see if it helps.
