Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

I had to use a Microsoft account because I really wanted Xbox GamePass on my PC so I can play PC games. It required it on the OS level.

I wish I could say it's not that bad. But it really sucks!

Things like having to restart, or apps/games not working because it couldn't talk to Microsoft servers.

I let my subscription lapse a year ago when I bought a Steam Deck. And honestly hoping Proton gets even more coverage.
