    My friend signed into Office and he accidentally didn't tap on the sign in to app only and now his Windows Account was converted from a Local account to a Microsoft Account but in the Accounts sections of the settings there is no longer the "Sign in with a local account instead" option.

    How can he go back to using a local account?


    This is what he's seeing:

    If he verifies his MS account the option to switch to local should appear.

    I see an option: "stop signing in to all msft apps automatically", what happens when that option is used?
