    You need to change your account so that you log in as a 'Local Account'.

    There's details how to do that via the link below, but the short version is:

    Click on Windows button (bottom left)
    Select Settings
    Select Accounts
    Click on 'Sign in with a local account instead'
    Follow the instructions (enter current password, set up new version of account...)
