Hi,

Failure to sign in to your local account can be related to how the user permission is configured on your device. To effectively assist you with your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

• Which Windows build version is running on your device? Type winver
  in the search box and press Enter to help you identify.
• Have you made any recent changes on your device prior to your concern?

As an initial step, we suggest that you create a new user and check if you'll be able to sign in to your local account from there. To create a new user, you can follow the steps provided on this

link.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

 

Unable to delete the initially added account in Mail app on Windows 10.

Hello Thesstral,



Thanks for the update on the above issue.



The first account added to the Mail app would have converted your user account to a
Microsoft account. Since the mail account added initially is now in sync with the user account, delete option will not be available.



I suggest you to convert the user account to the Local account by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: To convert the Microsoft user account to Local user account follow the steps below:

• Sign in into your Microsoft user account on Windows 10.
• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Settings and select the top most search result.
• Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts
  click on sign in with a local account instead option.
• Enter your Microsoft account's password and click on Next.
• Type in the Password and
  Password Hint that you want set for your local account and click
  Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.
• Restart/Shutdown the PC.
• Go to Mail app and delete both the added accounts and check if the action performed is successful.
• Now add/configure the account with appropriate settings and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: To convert the Local user account to Microsoft user account follow the steps below:

• On the newly converted Local account, press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  Settings and select the top most search result.
• Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts click on
  sign in with a microsoft account instead option.
• Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password and click Sign in.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and check if the changes are effective.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

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)
