    Login screen presents both local and MS account sign in


    I set up a new tablet with windows 10 and began with a Local account so I could choose my user name. Then I signed in with my MS account to sync settings.

    When I start the tablet the login screen asks for my pin. I want to be able to automatically login without entering a pin or password. To do that I use netplwiz and uncheck the option to require a password for login. So far so good.

    But when the tablet restarts I am presented with a login screen that now shows two accounts, my MS account and what appears to be a local account but with the same name. If I then reverse the process and enable the "require a password" option in netplwiz there is only one account shown on the login screen but then I have to use a pin or password.

    How do I remove that second local account on the login screen and then login automatically? There is only one account listed in the user account settings page.

    Sign in Store with Different Account in Windows 10


    Great - this is definitely a good change - it proves MS do listen to feedback.

    Edit: I am puzzled now as your screens are different to mine!

    I will post image when I get on my pc.

    Edit 2: This is interesting. You get the new link first time you set Store to login to a new account (ie one not shown initially) but if you create a new one, sign out, then select same (now existing) MS account, you do not get the link!

    Great consistency eh - LOL!
