For anyone on the sky of blue app, here's a thread on how to fix it.

@MrsE0113 It’s a good thing he’s not running any important tech companies or anything. 🙄
He can afford to pay for help.
@MrsE0113 As much as I dislike the man, he has a point.
Microsoft makes it difficult/complicated to use a machine that has Windows on it without creating a Microsoft account or connecting it to the Internet.
They do this on purpose using (what are known in UX design as) dark patterns to ensure that most users (read: non-technical folks) don't even bother or realize it's possible, while allowing them to argue "well, technically you can still do it!" if they're ever called on their bullshit.
@MrsE0113 The moral of the story: don't even bother trying to use Windows; wipe the HDD and install a Linux distribution of your choice on it instead, then send Microsoft a nice bit of "fan mail" telling them where they can shove their adw... I mean spywa... I mean malwar... I mean crappy, user-hostile, invasive operating system.
@MrsE0113 I really hope someone sends him a help link that helps him compromise his machine.
