Cant add more than 10 accounts on Windows 10/11?

[BaidDSB]

I need like 13 accounts on the same PC. I counted add more than 10.

 

Help?

I have a machine with iirc 14 local accounts. Do you get any sort of error?

yes, when i try to add more from settings, it does say something on the vein of "cant add more accounts".

Home or pro? maybe try to add them from the management console instead...

Thanks for reading my message properly first time around I guess... Microsoft claims there are no limits whatsoever on how many accounts can be logged into Windows, your issue is most likely rate limit or other security related cloud based enforcement.

Try making a local account, logging into that, then adding the MS account?

will the MS account then replace the local one?

The local one gets "transformed" into one, yeah
