More issues with Windows 10: When I installed Windows 10 I chose to have a picture for my sign in and not a password since I'm usually to only one aside from my husband using the computer. So ever since installation in January no problem with this, then yesterday I started up my computer and low and behold there was a start up screen showing my hotmail account and asking me to sign in with my password for hotmail, I couldn't get on my computer without doing it. What's going on with Microsoft anyway, I want my personal preferences respected and that is not happening.

Today the same thing happened and I had to use the internet for a workaround.

I don't know if other people have had this issue but it sure bugs the ---- out of me.

I just had to rant a little to blow off a little steam.

That's pretty sneaky Jenny 100, and I don't like it one bit.

Thanks for the information, I'm sure I'll be back with other issues in the future as this is the second one I've had with Windows 10.

"Not only is this an annoyance but if you end up in some comedy-of-errors situation where someone who isn’t you logs into the Windows Store then it converts your local user account to a Microsoft account with their login credentials. Further compounding the problem you need their password to undo the mess (and, should you lock your computer or log out before you fix the problem you’ll need their password just to access your computer). It’s all rather bizarre and a very poor and underhanded bid to get people using the Microsoft-style login instead of the local-user login."

Wow!

Sometimes I think Microsoft take two steps forward and three steps back.
