  1. Unlinking my Windows Account from my Win 10 User ID


    Hi Folks


    In an abortive attempt to get One Drive to update, (Now abandoned and uninstalled) I foolishly managed to let Microsoft attach my Microsoft account to my normal user account on the PC. It now forces me to use my Microsoft account login at every boot.


    The Microsoft advice is to create a new user and then copy the contents of my old user folder to the new user folder. This (sort of) makes sense except that many of the items in the old user account will not copy even though I am in Administrator mode. Protected files perhaps?


    Is there a slicker way to undo my earlier mistake as I have no wish to be password block at every boot up?


    Thanks


    Pete

    :)

    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 Unlinking my Windows Account from my Win 10 User ID :(
