Windows 10 user login?
- Thread starter steelth
- Start date
I've found the same thing and I don't think you can do much apart from have all your account logins via a Microsoft as opposed to a local account. My desktop has two admin accounts and only one has a Microsoft log in. If the other user with the local account was the last one to use the computer it always boots directly into that account. If it was me who used it last I get the screen offering a choice of accounts at boot up. To start with I thought there was a glitch but I think now that it's just the way it has to be.

What aggravated me is it forced me to change my previous logon password. If I could do a system restore to get rid of the current one, I'd do such.

How to manage Microsoft and user accounts in Windows 10 | Windows Central
Works about the same as win 8.1. At least it does for me. Hope this might help

Will check it out
It looks a thorough article Cobalt006 but I found my eyes glazing over before I got halfway. Things are working OK so I'm not going to tempt fate by meddling with Windows 10 unless something is obviously not right. I can now understand why there has to be a difference between a local account sign in and a Microsoft account sign in.

If I knew a system restore would take care of it, I might try it but then again, I dunno. Might have to leave it as is. Nothing is pefect
Nothing is pefect I tend to be a bit behind the curve with innovations on computers but I'm certainly not going to rubbish Windows 10. It's an impressive effort to recover from previous mistakes and they have listened to feedback. I can't be bothered with swatting it up up yet but it looks to me that Windows 10 will link computers and the Cloud via Microsoft accounts. By using local accounts our computers work just like they did in Windows 7. There's no problem there because it was almost as nice as XP . However, Microsoft are on a mission to join up their OS across multiple platforms and the launch of Windows 10 phones in the near future is going to be a major event for them. I'm thinking that's why we need to grin and bear the logging in complications.
Am I thinking on the right lines here or am I way of course?

Bazz 2004 I am am in agreement there. With your line of thinking. As far as rubbishingWin 10. Just give yourself sometime with it. It is a new os. Still has some issues. But from what I have read about. Microsoft will send updates to it to build on it. So at some point. The issue should be corrected.
