local account/Microsoft account

I have been using Windows 10 for about a week. I set up two accounts - one administrator, the other regular user. When attempting to update Windows 10, I got a message saying because I did not login a Microsoft account, some updates couldn't be downloaded. So, I had to create a Microsoft account. At the end of creating the account, there was a message saying from then on, I would login the Microsoft account. That is not what I want. I want to use the administrator and user accounts on daily basis and only use the Microsoft account when downloading updates.

My questions are:

1. can I get updates without login a Microsoft account?
2. If not, can I login the existing administrator and user accounts on daily basis and only login the Microsoft account to get updates?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You do not need a Microsoft account to get Windows updates.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The following is what was shown on my update screen. What account was Windows talking about? Obviously, I must have logged in a account (the default Administrator account, in this case) to see the message.

WINDOWS UPDATE
We couldn't download some updates because you were signed out of your account. Sign in with your account, try the update again, and stay signed in during the download.
Retry

Microsoft office maybe?

Thanks for the replies. I clicked on the Retry button and it started to download updates.

I had done that before posting the original article. It did not work at that time. After posting the article, I searched the web and found that I needed to delete all files in C:\windows\softwaredistribution\download. I did that then clicked on the Retry button and things started working again.
