Windows 10 settings home page showing Microsoft account as local account?

Question

Hello Microsoft!

I'm currently using my Surface Book 1 and on the windows 10 settings home page, my profile picture doesn't appear and even though I have signed in with my Microsoft account it displays a Microsoft account and a local account under it (Refer to the picture below). I've tried logging in and out from my Microsoft account, trying to log in from a local account but to no avail. 

Kindly help me and thanks as always.

Answer 1

Hi, please click on the windows icon (bottom left) then press on the circle profile picture, then press on change account settings. What do you see then?

Answer 2

I've clicked on that picture and it shows me 3 options. 

1. Sign out
2. Lock
3. Change account settings

Answer 3

Yes, press change account settings.

Please send me a screenshot of what shows now.

Answer 4

Okay.  My name along with my Microsoft account profile picture plus my Microsoft account email (which has been cropped out). Below that its written Administrator and so on.

Answer 5

So, here its showing that you are signed in with a Microsoft account. 

I would advise for you to press sign in with local account then that should switch you over to a local account (still having administrator privileges) then switch to a Microsoft account and that should sort it.
