  1. Would like to change Windows 10 Microsoft login to local only


    I would like to login with my local admin Windows 10 account without also logging in to Microsoft.I see that the instructions in all of the searches I could find instructed users to "Click Users and accounts and under your Profile select “Sign in with a local account instead ” option." I do not have this option unless it's now hidden somewhere else.I don't want to add a user and set it up without a Microsoft account because I've already used my PC for six months and don't want to set up a new user. It doesn't offer me the option to do this anyway.I've got windows 10.0.19041 build 1

    :)

  2. windows local login does not change

    Hi,

    I realize that windows local login does not change on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.


    • Did you change the Microsoft account password online?
    I would like to let you know that a Local account is an account that lets you sign in to only one PC. If you create a Local account, you’ll need a separate account for each PC you use. None of your settings will be synced. You won’t get the benefits
    of connecting your PC to your files, settings, apps, and services online in the cloud. You also won't be able to download apps from the Windows Store without a Microsoft account.

    If you want the Windows local login same as the Microsoft account then you need to login to the PC using the Microsoft account.

    The local account password will not work for Microsoft account.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
