I have read various posts about verifying accounts and the use of local accounts instead of MS account. I am set-up with MS account and PIN login. Over the last month or so I have on several occassions been signed in to a temporay account and told to sign out / sign in again. By a process of trial and error I have established that I need to verify my account, 2 stage with code to mobile phone, and after a restart everything is fine. However the frequency of needing to do this seems to be increasing and even more frustrating the link to verify account is not always on the account screen. Yesterday I verified account, inserted code but still the temporay account came up. Today the verification process worked and I am back to normal. In total I have spent about 1 hour on the latest occurence getting normal access to computer.
Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening? I use the computer nearly every day so it is not MS checking because the computer has not been used for some time. I use 2/3 programes like CCleaner regularly to clean junk and tidy up registry. I wondered if one of these could be deleting some link and setting off the sequence.
I have no strong feelings about logging in with MS as I use LastPass to manage my logins so is the answer to ditch the MS login and switch to a local account?
As always any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated
