Need to remove a Microsoft Account from "Choose an account" options in Windows Store

Question

_{Monday, August 1, 2016 9:10 PM}

One of our users at work was having problems downloading the Photos app that he needed from the Windows Store.  These are domain computers and we don't have Microsoft Accounts in use on these computers. To download the app from the Store it was requiring a MS Account login......so, I decided it would be a good idea to use my own personal MS Account to just be able to download this one app. I was careful to pick the option to use it for that app only, and not convert the PC to a MS Account login.

It worked fine, but now every time this employee goes to the Windows Store and does anything where the "Choose an Account" option shows up, my personal MS Account showing my personal email address is there as an option for him to select.  I have a very strong and long password, so I'm not really worried about that, but it would be nice to be able to remove this from the list.  I appreciate everyone's help.

Hi ,

Please click settings, go to Accounts, Your emails and accounts, then you will be able to see your Microsoft Account under "Accounts used by other apps". Remove your Microsoft Account as shown blew, restart the computer to sign in again and your Microsoft Account should be removed from "Choose an account" options in Windows Store.

Best regards
