Earlier this week, Microsoft released a new Release Preview update for Windows Insiders still using Windows 10. Build 19045.4353 doesn’t contain anything too exciting, but there is one change that might raise a few eyebrows. Microsoft is currently testing new banners in the Settings app to get users with local accounts to switch to Microsoft accounts. The technology giant writes:

New! This update begins the rollout of account-related notifications for Microsoft accounts in Settings > Home. A Microsoft account connects Windows to your Microsoft applications. The account also backs up all your data and helps you manage your subscriptions. You can also add additional security steps to prevent you from being locked out of your account. This feature shows notifications in the Start menu and Settings.

The change seems to be rolling out gradually, which means not everyone on build 19045.4353 has it yet. However, you can force it to run using a command for the ViVeTool app. This is what the new banner looks like:

If you don’t want the Settings app to nudge you with Microsoft account instructions, go to Privacy > General and turn off the “Show me suggested content In the Settings app” option. Also, you can also just click the close button next to the “Sign in now” button to get rid of the banner.

Here’s how to enable the new banner in case you want to see it for yourself in build 19045.4353:

1. Download ViveTool M GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-locate folder.
2. to press Win+RType cmdand pressure Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open the command prompt as an administrator.
3. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files using the CD command. For example, if you placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive.
4. Type vivetool /enable /id:42563876 and pressure to enter. To disable the new banners in the Settings app, use vivetool /disable /id:42563876. The credit for the ID goes to Albacore in X.
5. Restart the computer.

Microsoft’s ongoing fight against local accounts in consumer versions of Windows annoys just about everyone, including Elon Musk. However, Windows 10 still offers a relatively easy way to bypass the MSA requirement during initial setup. Windows 11, however, won’t let you use a local profile unless you know a magic command (oobe\bypassnro).
