I tried to create a local user account the other day and it was so unnecessarily obfuscated to me.
I had to say I was creating a guest account and I didn't know their email - that is apparently what a "local" account is now in Windows, if either of those things aren't true you need to use Authenticator or Live or Passport or whatever it is called.
And if my internet is spotty, I get a 10 second delay logging into my computer because my login screen needs to show me a picture/ad. I finally cancelled my annual 365 membership because the invasiveness had gotten to be too much and they don't deserve my money.
I am sure if I upgraded to Windows Business Professional Home edition, I could pay for a Microsoft certification course to learn how to disable all these features, but I'd rather just switch to Linux.
