I havent signed into my Microsoft Account for years. Since I was about to change my motherboard, I got it working, in case I needed it.
After changing the motherboard, Windows was deactivated. Even though my current account had admin priviledges, it gave a blank screen during the process of activating it.
So I tried the Administrator account. After supplying the username and password for the MS account, it wanted the password for the local account. I have not used it in years as I use a pin.
So I switched to another admin account I have (for emergencies). Same deal, I cant remember the password. Stupidly from MS's point of view, I reset the password with a command prompt command. And I was able to activate Windows.
But Now
This account is associated with a windows account. I dont use it except in emergencies. But it is harassing me on my mobile that I have to log into my Microsoft Account on either my desktop or laptop! Its doing this multiple times a day. I presume this is because of Windows Link app.
How can I stop this annoying prompt ?
