Windows 10 will start nagging you to switch from local account to MS Account


Microsoft is testing new banners for Windows 10 to make users with local accounts switch to Microsoft Accounts. They are rolling out as part of the latest Release Preview update for Windows 10.

This update starts the rolls out of account-related notifications for Microsoft accounts in Settings > Home. In order to turn off the new banners in the Settings app, use vivetool /disable /id:42563876. Credit for the ID goes to Albacore on X. Microsoft's ongoing fight against local accounts in consumer versions of Windows annoys pretty much everyone, including Elon Musk.
