A suggestion to disable Microsoft Account login for Windows Accounts. The idea behind this is to stop Windows from showing those blocking screens at login and pop-us in the UI that push local account users to switch to a Microsoft Login Account.
At work this is considered a security risk, so normally I disable it using group policy, but for this tweak I decided to use a registry method so those poor souls using Windows 10/11 Home can benefit too.
This is the source I used: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-microsoft-accounts-in-windows-11.23799/
In the tweak I used value "1" instead of "3" to avoid possible locks if a Microsoft Account is already in use and because this allows other users to use Microsoft Accounts before applying the tweak.
In the undo tweak part, as I didn't found a way in the tool to delete a registry key like the article suggests, I opted instead to use the value "0". I tested this on a VM and it seems to work.
Comments on the name, order and description of the tweak are welcomed, as I lack a bit of imagination and this is my first time contributing to this tool. I this pull request is denied, I will completely understand it.
