Just installed 8.1. It had me create some kind of acct with Windows, now I have to use my password when Windows starts. It's aggravating that it changed the way I have used my computer for months now. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that I can just sign into Windows w/o having to use my online acct or whatever the heck that is that I had to create, so I can go back to the way I had it and don't have to sign in everytime I start Windows.

Thanks for any help.
