If you have an Microsoft account on Windows 10, it’s likely that you’re using it to access your account settings and other features. If you want to remove your Microsoft account from the system, there are a few steps you can take.

  1. Open the Start menu and type “cmd” (without the quotes) and hit enter.
  2. Type “netstat -a” and hit enter.
  3. Look for the line that says “Microsoft-Windows-Authentication”. If it’s not there, create it by typing “netstat -A | grep Microsoft-Windows-Authentication”. The line should now look like this: Microsoft-Windows-Authentication ================ (none)
