    Talkingstreet got a reaction from konstant213 in Microsoft-Account Requirement bricks core Windows functionality!   
    As Windows 11 is about to make a Microsoft Account mandatory for all new installs many have raised multiple concerns from privacy to anti-trust behaviour. But I haven't seen anyone talking about the fact that logging in with Microsoft-Account bricks core Windows functionallity:
     
    The root of the problem is that even though Windows will display your Microsoft-Account name as the user-name, deep down Windows requires a real account name. (Eg. The one it lists when you call the "net users" command or the one you have to use when doing anything with the terminal or the one your user folder is named after) The problem is that it chooses the first five letters of your Microsoft-Account E-Mail-Adress at the time of setup!
    Additionally even though you log into your computer through Windows Hello, deep down Windows requires a real password. And it uses the one of your Microsoft Account during PC-Setup WHY??? The problem is that soooo many services rely on these "true" log in details. Not only the command line or the file system rely on this information, but nearly every Windows functionality introduced before Windows 10. So also network folders / shared folders and many more.
     
    It gets even worse when you forcefully change these things through the command line (you can't do it in the settings). Either it doesn't work because the Microsoft-Account somehow just reverts the changes, or destroy your installation. (Both happened to me)
     
    And we haven't even talked about the fact that it is very common in a lot of companies or schools to have a central data storage server with all the user data and for the users to be able log in from every computer connected to this so called "windows domain" it completely bricks that very useful functionality.

    You could perform a clean install, removing every Lenovo bloatware or looking for them yourself. Every laptop included software no matter what it does, in my experience, treat the computer resources like it's his playground

    Thank you for your help, but I think I found the issue, there was a safety feauture preenabled, that throttled everything to keep the charging device save when on an airplane, it was on auto and as far as I could find out, that means it basically just does things randomly
