I've got this Dialog Box when I enter my password to sign into my account account in Edge.

It says :

Use this account everywhere on your device
Windows will remember your account and make it easier to sign in to apps and websites. Clicking Next means that you'll be able to find a lost device, sync your settings to other devices, and ask Cortana for help.

But I don't want to use a Microsoft Account on my computer or on any other app. I just want to be able to use my account for syncing purpose.

This is the image I have to show the problem:

Is there any way to disable this "feature"?

Thanks

Hello, :-)

You can click on the Microsoft apps only link in your screenshot to only sign in to Microsoft Edge instead of switching to a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 11 with.

This will also add your Microsoft account under Accounts used by other apps below to be available to sign in to other apps with if wanted.

Hello,

Yes, I know that but Microsoft apps only is not Edge only, I do not want to store the account for any other app like office, etc.

Yes, in theory but I could not remove it from there in the past so I want to avoid the chance Windows troll me again.
