revert to Windows 19041 from 20H2, possible? how?
Without my permission, Windows 10 spontaneously updated to 20H2 two days ago. Anyway to revert to the previous version, which I believe is 19041 or whatever the latest version before 20H2?
Two days ago, when I turned on this desktop PC, which I use maybe once or twice a week, it went through some setup menu and asked me to enter an email address. Without thinking, I entered a hotmail address and, alas, I created a Microsoft account, which I had always been trying to avoid.
I have searched the net to figure out how to remove the Microsoft account and use local account. All the articles I have found say there is an option called "sign in with a local account instead". Well, all PCs and laptops I own don't have that option. I do see a "Manage my Microsoft account" option but it's gray out. I followed this link (2 Ways to Disable or Block Microsoft Account in Windows 10/8) and changed the registry value of NoConnectedUser to 3. It didn't work.
The account I am working on is the default Administrator account. Maybe this account is so special that it's missing some options. I don't know. I don't think I can nor want to delete this account.
So, the only option, besides reinstalling Windows, seems to be somehow revert to the previous version of Windows. Possible? In the Settings/Windows Update/View update history/Uninstall updates, I don't see the option to remove 20H2 because the last updates installed was in May. There is nothing in June.
