Ive created a LOCAL USER account as admin using Control Panel but there is no option to login as LOCAL USER. Ive also tried to change user login options in ACCOUNT SETTINGS but it doesnt exist shown in Screenshot examples. Is there a reg hack or something.

COuldnt get the IMAGE UPLOAD function to work so here are some links. another quality Micro$oft product...

    Hello Bill, how are you?

    Try creating a new local Windows account and see if you can access it normally.

    1. Press Windows + R keys to open the "Run" window;
    2. Copy and paste the command

    netplwiz

    and press ok;

    1. Click on the "Add" option;
    2. Select the option "Do not sign in to a Microsoft account";
    3. Choose a name and password for this profile and then proceed;
    4. After the new profile is created, go back to the "User Accounts" screen, click on your user and then on "Properties". Select the "Group Membership" tab;
    5. Mark the profile as Administrator and click on Ok;
    6. Login with the new account;

    If necessary, copy and paste the files from the old account to the new account:

    1. Press "Windows flag" key + E to open File Explorer;
    2. In File Explorer, select "This Computer" in the left column;
    3. Under "This Computer", select "Windows (C:)";
    4. Among the presented folders, select the "Users" folder;
    5. Accessing the "Users" folder, select and access the folder with the name of your old account;
    6. Open the folders inside the folder with the name of your old account, and copy the files to your new account.

    Important: You must OPEN THE FOLDERS in your old account and COPY THE FILES to the new account, it's no use trying to copy the folders.

    After migrating your data, delete your previous user:

    1. Press Windows+R keys to open the Run window, type

    netplwiz

    and click OK;

    1. Select your previous user and click Remove.

    It seems to be working now. thanks. You have to hover the mouse over the email password option and a popup will show the option for local login. Lets try to make this just a little bit more difficult next time.

    thanks.

    I jumped the gun. NOt accepting the credentials. says wrong username or password. ive changed the password 3 times.. geez.

    Seems like it still wants email address for login tho the popup mentions local password.

    In this case, even selecting the option to login to a local account with username and password does not allow access to it?

    1. Press Windows+R, type lusrmgr.msc and click Ok;
    2. After that, access Users from the left side menu and share a printscreen of this screen, please.
