Can't have a a personal non microsoft account

otuatail · 09 Feb 2024

I have gone to accounts add, family and other users. I have added an account with a new password. I hit alt ctrl delete and switch user. I am forced to log on with my MS account. I deleted the MS account and still have to log on to the (now deleted) account.

I have had a previouse problem here. I bought a new PC W11. I connected using my MS account only to find my laptop now has the same password and is not unique. That is why I tried to break away from it on my laptop and have a personal account.

You can use a Microsoft account to sign into your PC, or have a local account with its own unique password. You can switch your account from being a Microsoft one to a Local account (or back again) any time and as many times you wish.

What @Bree said. I have several computers with only a Local Account with Administrator Rights, both Win10 and Win11. New/clean installs had the initial set up done while Offline/No Internet Service. A couple already had the Microsoft Account when given to me so I created new Local Account, fully rebooted into the login screen with both choices, got the Local running then deleted the one with the Microsoft Account. As far as what I've seen the Change User process doesn't accomplish what I needed in make the changes.

Acording to accounts, I only have ONE account Pablo666 Administrator local account. It has a alphanumeric password.

When I click alt ctrl del. I have to enter the MS pin number.

P.S. I have a lot of previouse attachments in a list going back months. I can't delete them only add to them.
