    why is my wife's login required in order for me to use the MS store?


    I just got a new laptop after not using MS for a long time. I thought I missed the functionality of a windows PC, but I was mistaken. MS doesn't seem to like it's users to personalize anymore, and insists on being invasive into my phone for no good reason that I can discern. My latest issue is that My wife's email login pops up whenever i want to download anyhting from the ms store. She doesn't even have a user account on my laptop. Why?Actually more to the point how do I get around this?

    :)
