What is the advantage of signing in to a Microsoft account when you start your windows 10 computer?
You don't need internet to login using a microsoft account.What about when you lose internet connection and can't login.
What about when you lose internet connection and can't login. Then have to hope you can change your account back to a local account via safe mode. Jumping through hoops to just use your computer without internet.
Personally I cannot see any advantages other than to Microsoft who have yet another avenue to spam you. Consequently I always set up my computers with an "offline account." I have never had a problem doing this other than the Microsoft nags that "things will be better with a Microsoft account log in." during the installation process. Yeah right.
Yes if the password is still technically stored. Though I have had this very issue with both Windows 8 and 10. All because I logged into a Windows 10 App which changed my local account into an online account. If they have changed it then good on them, because I haven't used Windows 10 in forever now. Uggh and I was one of the unfortunate people that had to help with a family members Windows 8 RT tablet that did this very thing too. (lol, why they wanted RT I can't tell you, but that's another story).You don't need internet to login using a microsoft account.
If this is directed at me too then meh don't really care mate. It happened to me just like the Oct 18 update deleted peoples files. Sure maybe it didn't happen to you, but doesn't mean it didn't. Nor does it mean it did, but that is the stalemate sir. You're making blind assumptions this very moment.I swear people just talk crap on things they haven't even used and make baseless assumptions. Don't like it? Fine, don't use it.

Edit: Well seems it's not completely gone.

With how Windows 10 updates have been going lately, I wouldn't be amazed if there is other variations of this issue.
You can say that about any situation with people on any product. I've worked in customer service in the past, people come in and throw temper tantrums over a pack of tube socks. (Or better yet used underwear, lol) I've also done a lot of similar repairs like yourself, but never officially a repair shop so trust me I know.You gotta understand I worked in a repair shop for two years and was inundated with Windows 10 complaints and issues. I've dealt with that OS and its quirks far more than most people. It's not perfect, but so many people get downright sensationalist with its problems that 99 percent of the time aren't an issue or easily remedied. That's what bothers me. I still have plenty of my own complaints with W10 but a lot of stuff people bemoan is unfounded, and I've got extensive experience with the OS.
Agreed. My personal experience with Windows 10 has been incredible, especially when compared to 7. I loved 7, but I've realized 10 is actually a massive improvement. That doesn't mean everyone will have the same experience, but I'd be willing to bet most people didn't have any issues, especially on a clean install. Although I've heard upgrading from 7 to 10 can cause more issues.It's not perfect, but so many people get downright sensationalist with its problems that 99 percent of the time aren't an issue or easily remedied.
Even still, the fact being Windows 10 isn't great and way worse off than Windows 7 and even 8 in some ways is the truth.
You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't think you're on the same page here. Because it's not so much as it's not a usable OS that people would like to use. It's the actions that are to speak here. Privacy issues, constantly releasing poor patches, et cetera, which have been turning users away.I disagree with this completely. I think 10 is the most solid OS Microsoft has ever released. XP and 7 were great, but even 7 was plagued with issues from beginning to end. Especially towards the end. Endless frustrations.
My favorite part about 10 is having control of Startup programs in a tab directly in Task Manager. What a massive improvement. But 10 overall is so smooth and I haven't had to enter Device Manager or MSConfig once. That's incredible, in my opinion.
