How to log out of someone else’s Microsoft account on your own laptop?

Anonymous

I recently logged into a friend’s Microsoft account through the Microsoft Store so I could play one of his games, but it has switched his computer settings over to my laptop (along with OneDrive). I am unable to sign out of his account in settings and I am also unable to create a local account through settings. I have already logged out of his account on the Microsoft Store, but his settings and OneDrive are still there. How do I fix this?

Hi Audrey538,

My name is Ralph. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Let's try this one.

Log in to your friends account.

Press ctrl + alt + delete then select sign out.

Log in to your account (local account if there's any).

Once log in - press windows button

Type sign in options.

Click on Your info

Change the login option (remove Microsoft account)

Regards,

Ralph

Hi Ralph! I appreciate your help, but this unfortunately did not work for me. I followed all of your steps, and there is no option to remove the account under “your info” in settings. His email address is set as an administrator under my laptop. Are there any other options I can try?
