Windows 10 and Microsoft Account Sign-in
Somehow along the way Microsoft made me create a new password for my Microsoft Outlook email account because they thought it was being accessed by a stranger! I think the stranger was me using my Amazon Fire Tablet while on vacation. Anyway, I now have one password to log into Outlook on all the machines I have connected to my home network. That did not seem to be a problem since I had all the machines setup for Auto Logon with the old password and they all shared files with no issues since they all had the same password.
But...when I installed Windows Update 1703 on a system (Home Server) I used the New Password when asked to Login to my Microsoft Account. That created a minor problem since all of the mapped network drives had to be re-signed in to the server. I think the reason the Update 1703 asked for a Microsoft Account Sign-in was because I had changed the motherboard a few days earlier. Windows 10 prior to Update 1703 did not have a problem with the hardware change and did not ask for any new sign in's.
So...it appears I had been running all the computers on my home network with one password to sign into Windows 10 and another password to log into Outlook mail and my Microsoft Account.
I recently set up a new system and of course I used the NEW Microsoft password created above and the new system had to login to all the other systems using the OLD password to share files.
Finally, the question - I need help on how do I get rid of the dual passwords being used on the old systems?
All of the above has been compounded by the bug in Windows Update 1703 that makes Network Discovery work like it did on the infamous Windows 8.1 update! I'm sure Microsoft will get around to fixing the bug sometime in the next several months but then that's a separate issue.
