Windows 10 has for some time been nagging my local account.

In the start menu it shows a yellow "!" over my profile icon and if I click that it informs me that I should sign into a Microsoft account.

I'm able to dismiss it, but then it reappears a couple of weeks later.

Can you try switching to LTSC/IOT? There are various grey(or darker)-market solutions available.

I've been running LTSC for a while. Just about everything works, until I downloaded the latest Forza Motorsport. It won't start because all the xbox "apps" are missing. It's the only game so far that doesn't work that I have tried.

Ironically your comment probably explained why my Forza Horizon 4 fails to launch, thanks for the reply. I'd probably rather not have the game than have the xbox apps to be honest. (Though game bar still seems to exist when I search for it...)

With all the shenanigans Microsoft is pulling I no longer feel any guilt or trepidation about getting an LTSC key through a gray area.
