How to sign out of your Microsoft account on Windows 10

Over the weekend I went on my dad’s computer to check out windows 10 apps and games. I wanted to get Modern Combat, but it made me put in my Microsoft account. So I logged in and installed. But then I saw it changed the name of the user and changed the password of his user account to my Microsoft account. I wanted to know if there is a way to sign out of my Microsoft account on his computer. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Thanks in Advance

All ways to sign out from Windows 10

Windows 10 comes with a different user interface yet again which includes a new Settings app and a different Start menu quite unlike the Windows 7 Start menu or the Windows 8 Start screen. It provides basic functionally that everyone is used to although it does not have submenus for system folders. The power button is now in a different location and the commands to lock or log off are located elsewhere. In case you are interested, let me walk you through all the ways to sign out from your Windows 10 user session.

1. The Start menu.
   Click your user name in the Start menu. In the drop down menu, you will see the Sign out command:
2. Win + X Power user menu.
   Right click the Start button on the taskbar in Windows 10. From its context menu you can access the Sign out command. Alternatively, you can press Win + X shortcut keys on the keyboard. This will open the Win + X menu. See the article Use Win+X menu to manage tasks in Windows 10 faster.
   Tip: see the full list of all Windows keyboard shortcuts with Win keys.
3. Ctrl + Alt + Del security screen.
   Press the Ctrl + Alt + Del shortcut keys together on the keyboard and pick the Sign out command from there:
4. The classic Shutdown dialog.
   Minimize all windows if you have any open and click on the Desktop so it is focused. Now press Alt + F4 shortcut keys together on the keyboard. In the Shutdown Windows dialog, select the item «Sign out»:Tip: see How to create a shortcut to the Shut Down Windows dialog.
5. The shutdown console tool.
   Open a command prompt and type the following:

This will sign out you from Windows 10:

That’s it. Thankfully, Microsoft is keeping these options in Windows 10, so everyone can pick their most preferred way.

How To Sign Out Of Microsoft Account In Windows 10

Last Updated on March 3, 2020 by admin 15 Comments

One can sign in and use Windows 10 with the traditional local user account or the Microsoft account. Microsoft recommends users sign in to Windows 10 using a Microsoft account to access all features available in Windows 10.

If you performed a clean install of Windows 10 or upgraded from Windows 7 or 8.1 with a local account to Windows 10, you likely know that Windows 10 tries its best to push users to sign in using a Microsoft account. While it’s true that users need to sign in using a Microsoft account in order to install apps from Windows Store, it’s possible to install apps without switching local account to Microsoft account. When using a local account, you will not be able to use a few less important features like sync and OneDrive.

Many users who have been using a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10 want to sign out of Microsoft account to begin using a local account for several reasons, including privacy.

Sing out of Microsoft account and use local account in Windows 10

If you’re using a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10 but now like to sign out of Microsoft account to begin using a local user account, you can do so by completing given below directions.

Step 1: Open the Settings app by clicking its icon on the left side of the Start menu. You can also use the Windows logo + I keyboard shortcut.

Step 2: In the Settings app, navigate to Accounts > Your Info page.

Step 3: Click the link labeled Sign in with a local account instead.

Step 4: Clicking Sign in with a local account instead link will bring up the following confirmation screen where you need to click the Next button.

Step 5: When asked, type your Microsoft account password or PIN.

Step 6: Next, you will see Enter your local account info screen. In order to sign out of Microsoft account, you first need to switch to a local account. Enter a name for your new local account, set a password, and then click the Next button. If you don’t want to use a password for the local account, leave the password and confirm password fields empty.

Step 6: Finally, you will see the Switch to a local account screen. Save your work and then click Sign out and finish button to sign out of Microsoft account. You will be taken to the lock screen.

Select your newly created local account and enter the password to sign in and use Windows 10 without a Microsoft account.
