I had my Windows 10 all set up the way I like it with Privacy settings tweaked, a theme, etc. When I did a recent update to Windows 10 I see that I now have a header in Settings with the choices: My Username with Local Account listed and sign in, Windows Update with when I last checked and Rewards with a number of Rewards I have.

I decided to see what happen if I signed into my username local account. When I did that my computer seem to go back to some original settings telling me: We're settings things up. When this was all done my theme was completely gone, my start menu was at factory settings, all the apps that I uninstalled were back, my privacy settings were back to factory settings and I can't find Control Panel under Window Systems in the program line up and it took away Explorer.exe from the taskbar which is the folder that used to be called Windows Explorer. I think it's called File Explorer now. I also had my Microsoft Outlook email as an account in the account section of settings.

It's like I just bought the computer and it needed a complete setup again.

Anyhow I had to uninstall the apps I did not use, setup a new theme, find legacy Control Panel, fix my taskbar. What a hassle.

So is this suppose to happen when you sign into your Local account in Settings?

Note: I did sign out of the Microsoft account and got rid of that and I am back at Local Account Administrator again afterwards.
