Build 26063 missing "unlink from a microsoft account".

Build 26063 VHDX version used.

Installed with a LOCAL account, the BUILTIN\Administratior.

Then linked to my Microsoft hotmail account.

Now I cannot unlink it. Do I really have to add another account? How do I get my BUILTIN\Administrator back ? Imagine this happens on a machine which is supposed to be a domain controller later because you NEED to report a problem, and now you are doomed 'cause you linked the whole machine and not just one App to the account...

 

 

Clicking on Manage opens Edge, there I removed the account. But even after a reboot the link stays.

This is getting so weird. I don't understand why such dark patterns with easy in and impossible to fix or get out are creeping in into a server OS. This is so frustrating and builds up more and more distrust.

As usual: None of the feedback hub categories fit to this problem.

 

Edit: And just when I think I could go on this appears:

 

This is a server OS. I am using the BUILTIN\Administrator. How can Microsoft be so insensitive and even offer that "use OneDrive" here?
