Microsoft Sign In

Microsoft keeps prompting me to sign in to the account every time I boot up. Is there anyway I can stop seeing this other than actually signing in to Microsoft? Thanks.

That said, think twice before doing this. If you disable this feature, it means anyone stepping up to your computer can access your computer without entering a password. If you have absolute "physical" control over your computer 24/7/365, and there is no chance an untrusted user (like a whizkid nephew or a bad guy breaking into your home) can access your computer, then going without a password may be okay.

I might suggest changing your password (through Ctrl-Alt Del) to something easier to type. Note that "Fred had a big ram" is harder to break than "GT&^(39ju1". Why? 18 characters are harder to determine than 10.

 

Yes that describes my situation exactly. No family, no visitors, 24/7 at home, no password needed or wanted, complete control of PC.

 

.....so is anyone willing to tell me or is it a Microsoft trade secret?

 

Never mind, I found it myself and made the necessary adjustments in settings and turned it off!

 

Gee whiz. Of course we are willing to help. I provided a link to a possible solution but you never came back and told us if you even tried it?

Now you say you found it yourself but didn't tell us how. Tech support forums like this are here to learn and to share what we have learned. Otherwise, they help no one.

So how about sharing what you learned and tell us how you resolved your problem so that it may help others with the same issue in the future?

 

I am wiping the egg off my face now. I had thought the adjustments I made in settings did the trick as the notice didn't return the next time I logged in, but it did return the third time I logged in, so I have the same situation.
The previous information I was given was just about signing in to the MS account. What I need to know is how to get rid of the "pop-up" about Microsoft. I made a few adjustments to how I get information from MS, but apparently that was not enough.

 

Now hold on guys, no one seems to understand what I am asking. I do not want to log in to Microsoft automatically or otherwise. Every thing that has been told to me has been about logging in. All I am trying to do is to STOP the POP-UP every time I log in my PC. The pop-up prompt shows up on my desk top after I boot up. I am not set up with MS on this computer, I just want to stop the prompt on my desktop. I do not know what that adjustment would be or even if it can be stopped. Not only that, but I am attaching it again, so you can see it. Likewise, I am NOT interested in logging in to Microsoft. I don't know how else to ask this.

 

See this new attachment, maybe it will help to understand my question. This pop-up shows up on my desk top after I boot up. This is what I want to stop.

 

Yes that is correct. I did check Task Manager and I see that One Drive is disabled at this time. I have never used One Drive and never activated it.

 

Nothing obvious that I can see. I attached a copy of the start-up.

 

I turned off Kryptel on start up. See the attachment but it is empty.
This morning when I turned on the PC no pop up was seen so far. This is vert strange as I haven't done anything I know of to correct it.

 

Ok then, I will advise you if it happens again in a few days if necessary. Thanks.

 

Unfortunately it happened the very next tine I logged in. But I have trouble thinking it is a virus, I never heard of MS doing that and who else would have an interest in doing that? I'm thinking more like it is something built into Windows that activates if I do not "sign up"?
