    Remove Microsoft accounts from the settings


    Good morning. I ask how to avoid the Microsoft account window in the settings. When I install with the connected network, in the settings window I get the Microsoft account request and I don't know how to remove it.


    When I install without the connected network it does not appear.

    If there is some command or tool I could enter it in the ISO. Thank you very much.

    I thank you for the answer.
    I ask if there is a tool that can do it automatically so I can insert it into the ISO.
    In this way even if I install with the connected network It does not appear Account request.

    I have never tried that approach, maybe somebody else has. To achieve this, you would need to modify the install.wim, and then create a new Installation Media. This is a lot of work when you can just Disconnect from the Internet BEFORE commencing with the Installation, or is there a specific reason that you can NOT do it this way?

    I hope this helps.

    What you are seeing is a heading banner for Settings. MS has been experimenting with this for some time. It appears sometimes but not at others even though the circumstances seem to be the same.

    You might or might not find that these guides provide solutions for you but, since the MS experiments continue, any success might be temporary.

    I tried in the virtual machine in AuditMode unfortunately it is not possible to run the MACH2 file from the Prompt command. For the moment the only solution is to install without the network connection.

    The Settings banner can appear whether you are using local or MSAccounts.

    That link starts the Windows Out-Of-Box-Experience app for customizing your Windows experience. If you only have local accounts it will probably suggest that you create a Microsoft one or sign-in with an existing one, because all the settings and apps it affects need that. If you can exit it without creating an MS account, see if that makes it disappear permanently. I have one laptop that got that same link on the settings banner after updating to 20H2, but it already had a Microsoft account. My desktop which only has local accounts never got that after updating to 20H2, so I'd check your settings and disable the ones shown disabled here to see if you can make the link disappear without running the OOBE app:



    They may not actually be linked, but my desktop has them disabled. I'll check the laptop later.
