MS Account on task bar on startup
My wife's desktop computer has Win 11 23h2
Win 11 was installed on the computer with a local account and has no login password and as she is the only user, when the computer start it goes directly to the desktop (auto login)
Most of the time when you start the computer you get a MS Account on taskbar and the mouse runs a circle. You're unable to do anything and to get rid of the MS Account on taskbar and be able to use the computer you run Ctrl+Alt+Del, select Sign out + Sign in.
As the computer doesn't have a MS Account and never did, does someone knows how to get rid of this bug.

- Open Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
- Toggle Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update off, then back on.
- Restart and see if the problem persists.
Since your wife’s account is local and no password is set, the intermittent prompts may be remnants of some account linking or background Microsoft services trying to authenticate. If the problem continues, consider removing all Microsoft account integrations or resetting the Windows account settings.
