I followed that through and it didnt work for me, will read what the others say, then try your link again, thanks

Really? I'm on Windows 10 and was using a PIN to log in but the previous link I posted worked perfectly for me.

I don't have a problem with it personally. I've got to sign in to a MS account at some point to get my various hotmail and outlook emails, may as well just do it the once at login.

Cant you just set the mail app up to link to those accounts ?


Or other client of your choice of course

that

tried Start > Settings cog > Family & Other People

under Other people > Add someone else to the PC > I dont have this persons sign-in information > Add a user without a Microsoft account >

You now get a page "create an account for this PC" and you know the rest

While you are at it, make a back door too, in case your profile ever get mangled

hen try one of these ways

Rather than read all the above again to confuse myself, thought I would start again.

On start up I have to sign in, something I wish to disable.

Having googled and seen long protracted routes, which I have copied and in some cases followed through, I still have to sign in.

As I understand it, they ask if its a microsoft sign in or other. How can I tell?

If you're signing into an email address, its an Microsoft account sign in. If it just says Fred or whatever, its a local account.

Easiest solution is this:

Open Settings > Accounts and click Your info.
After confirming that the account is set up to use a Microsoft account, click Sign in with a local account instead.
Enter the password for your Microsoft account to confirm that you're authorized to make the change, and then click Next.
On the Switch To A Local Account page, enter your new local user name and password, along with a password hint, as shown here.
Click Next to sign out from the Microsoft account and sign back in using your new local account.

Not sure why you're finding this such a problem, as it's been explained a number of times now. After setting up your Microsoft account, create another, local account without the need for password login, then use this account from then on.

First search result I came across:

RumRat

SETTINGS - ACCOUNTS - SIGN IN OPTIONS - REQUIRE SIGN IN (DROP DOWN BOX), SET TO 'NEVER'.....
You only need to sign in when you first Power it up. from then on it will wake and start without sign in needed.
Sign in from power on is an extra layer of security if it's nicked.

Thanks for your time and patience. Whilst I would like to have another go, have been in garden and taken a bad fall and ribs hurt, so am going to rest, but as soon as, will try again.
