Was fart-arseing around with windex[0] and this happened... my login was changed!
All because I was playing with "Windows Store" and tried downloading a (free) game. [mini-golf if you must know] http://www.howtogeek.com/230543/how-to-revert-your-windows-10-account-to-a-local-one-after-the-windows-store-hijacks-it/ "Recently, however, we discovered a super annoying way that your local user account is automatically and without your permission converted into a Microsoft account: when you first log into the Windows Store on your new Windows 10 PC your local user account (say “Bill”) gets switched over seamlessly to whatever email address you use for the Windows Store (say “[email protected]”). Not only is this an annoyance but if you end up in some comedy-of-errors situation where someone who isn’t you logs into the Windows Store then it converts your local user account to a Microsoft account with their login credentials. Further compounding the problem you need their password to undo the mess (and, should you lock your computer or log out before you fix the problem you’ll need their password just to access your computer). It’s all rather bizarre and a very poor and underhanded bid to get people using the Microsoft-style login instead of the local-user login." <more_annoyance> Every time I turn this stupid windex laptop on, my squid proxy server goes crazy constantly sending (POST) and downloading (GET) crap from Microsoft and affiliates. </more_annoyance> No wonder the NBN (MTM) will get overwhelmed before it's built! -andyf [0] see Subject: _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
