Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro Will Require A Microsoft Account, Why?

Why even push people into making accounts, if they don't want too. I see two reasons. If people are unaware, Microsoft is making Windows 11 Pro require aMicrosoft Account during install, also users won't be able to install offline I think.I'm glad to stay on Windows 10, Windows 11 and who ever is working on this, sounds like it's being run like an EA project, 2042 anyone?Windows 11 Pro will soon force me to install Linux...

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
