Question How do I remove my microsoft account from windows 11?

[Bnthomason]

Hello! I want to remove my microsoft account from a windows 11 laptop, cause when it installed, it installed with a wierd feature: Every program app path gets put into one drive. This isn't usually a problem, except for portability issues and transfering some games between pc. My 10 pc does not use one drive as the default users folder, so I have to inconviently go into each of my programs and change certain lines to the portable program's building system every time I want to copy to a user folder.

It would be much easier to deassociate my account from my microsoft account.

I would look into how to do this at microsoft communities, but unfortunately, my profile is blocked on microsoft community and every time I sign out of my account, even after returning to the website from exiting, it logs me right back in. Is there's nothing I can do? Microsoft has screwed me!

P.S.: I want to keep my profile/user on my laptop, as there's information and data in my user profile that I need to keep. but I right now don't have access to a larger drive to transfer. I just want to delink from microsoft.

Read the entire link and look for similar links if and as necessary before doing anything.

Update your post with more information and detail.

Uninstall/unlink OneDrive.

Secondly, use a Local Standard account as your daily driver.
ALL of my systems, Win 10 and 11, are set up like this.

The MS account is there, but almost never used.
