Sign-in time too long

Two days ago I received quite a strong new Win 8.1 computer (with SATA drive).
I have opted for a LOCAL user only without a password.
The boot process was extremely fast: the computer turns-on to the blue log-in screen in few seconds; and then pressing Enter the signing-in process was almost immediate.

Then, a bad thing happened: I was lured by Microsoft to sign-in with a Microsoft account.
Then, signing-in to my computer with this MS account (and password) took ages; I mean, something like a full one minute the computer was trying to sign-in until eventually succeeding.
Understanding my mistake (why would I want an MS account?) I decided to disconnect from my Microsoft account, and return back to my nice local user.

But now, the long waiting time to signing-in (even without a password, and with an automatic log-in) still remains: I wait like 25 sec when the blue screen and the white dot circulate repeatedly until my account is signed-in.

What is going on? :mad:
Help me!

The following is only a partial solution, as the boot-up time is still very slow.
The solution shortens the time to sign-up, namely, when you sign-out and then
sign-in, things should be fast. (But not when you first sign-in after boot).
Damn Windows' incompetent software engineers!

Go to pc services and switch the startup type from the Credential Manager service (VaultSvc) from manual to automatic.

As I said above when booting again the above problem returns once more.
