  1. Windows 10 wrong Microsoft account associated with Local Administrator


    My son's Microsoft account appears to be associated with the Local Admin account the only account I ever use on my PC.


    This results in :

    1 my son's email address appearing under "Your Info"

    2 my PC being subject to my son's screen time via "Family" settings.


    Under "Email & Accounts" I can see his account listed but with no option to "Remove". It does helpfully provide a "Remove" option against my own account!


    I only ever wanted to login to my PC using a local account. The association with any Microsoft account was not done with consent.


    Please can someone explain how I regain control of my own PC?

    :)

    My son's Microsoft account appears to be associated with the Local Admin account (the only account I ever use) on my PC.

    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 Windows 10 wrong Microsoft account associated with Local Administrator :(

    Windows 10 wrong Microsoft account associated with Local Administrator

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
