How do I make search stop telling me to sign in.

I know that a huge part of Windows 10 is that they are trying to make it all on the cloud, but I feel MUCH more secure with everything on my computer. I will want to use the cloud for some things, but not for everything.

The thing I want to avoid the most is using my Microsoft account to sign into my computer. I want to have my own local account that is separate from all internet as my computer login. If I want to do stuff online, I will go to the browser.

My annoyance is that Every time I try to search for a folder or program using the search button, it opens Cortana, who immediately asks me to sign in with my Microsoft account. At first I was fine with it, but then I noticed that it changed my computer login into my Microsoft account login.

Is there a way to make Cortana stop telling me to sign in to Microsoft every time I try to search for a folder? It is really annoying.

O Have the same problem. I use windows s to search for all of my programs and every time she bothers me.

Right click on the Start Menu, choose Search:



then choose 'Not interested' and 'I'm sure':

Well if you keep going past that it will still ask to verify your email.
