Answer 1

Open the Settings App.

Go to Accounts - Your Info.

Is there is an option to 'Switch to a Local account' or the option to 'Stop automatically logging into apps with this account'.

If either option exists, select it, that will switch the user account to a Local account, then your brother can add back his Microsoft account details.

Answer 2

To sign out the Microsoft account from the Windows 11 PC and stop using it as the admin account, use these steps on your brother’s PC:

1. Sign out of the account session
   1. Select Start.
   2. Select the user picture / account icon at the bottom-left of the Start menu.
   3. Choose Sign out.
   This closes all apps and ends that account’s session on the PC.
2. Make sure another local/admin account exists Someone must sign in with another account that has administrator rights (for example, your brother’s original account). If there is no other account, one must be created and given admin rights before removing the Microsoft account; otherwise, there would be no admin on the PC.
3. Remove the Microsoft account from the device (from another admin account) While signed in with your brother’s (or another) admin account:
   1. Open Settings.
   2. Go to Accounts.
   3. Use the section such as Email & accounts or Access work or school (depending on how the account was added).
   4. Select the Microsoft account that was added.
   5. Choose Remove, then confirm.
   This stops that PC from using the Microsoft account and removes it as a sign-in option on that device.
4. If only sign-out is needed (without removing the account) If the goal is just to stop using the account for now but keep it available:
   1. Sign out as in step 1.
   2. Next time, sign in with your brother’s own account instead of the Microsoft account.

For general behavior:

• Sign out closes apps and ends the session so others cannot access files or settings.
• Lock keeps apps open but requires a password/PIN to continue.
