Not sure what I'm overlooking but it keeps forcing me to use a work or school account instead of a personal Microsoft account. Setting up Windows 10 Pro iso

When you say OOBE requires a Work or School account, do you want to to sign into a personal MS Account or create a local user?

For PC's provided by an organization, they may be using AutoPilot to automatically enroll it into a work or school domain. There is nothing you can do, except to ask them to remove the PC from AutoPilot.

If you wanted to create a local user, enable BypassRNO from the Settings -> System menu.
 
Use personal MS Account. This is for my personal computer. My previous settings worked before but somehow I must’ve change something. That now will not give me the option to select personal MS account. Only gives options for work and school account or local account. Not personal MS account
 
You're using someone's preset which blocks MS Account users.
Settings -> System / Microsoft Account

This preset also has superseded (replaced) Monthly Updates, you only need the most recent set installed.
 
Latest 22H2 is here and can be picked up from here
In NTL Unattended section change the FALSE flag in "Skip online acconut setup" to default.

Unattended settings are correct, but you're reading this question wrong. AAD logins are allowed, MS Accounts are not.

Code:
<HideOnlineAccountScreens>false</HideOnlineAccountScreens>
 
Not sure i understand here or it's out of my league - AAD logins is to company/ goverment/ Public servers and OP ask for a personal login to MS Account on a personal PC?
 
Windows supports 4 kinds of user account. Unattended XML can only provision local users.
- local user
- Microsoft Account user (MSA)
- local Active Directory user (AD)
- Azure Active Directory user (AAD)

NTLite can't assign AD logins, but like most imaging solutions can only provide a domain join credential for the PC.

AAD is another form of AD, but provided at the cloud level for remote users. AAD registers your PC's hardware ID into Autopilot. If OOBE is online, then the PC is redirected automatically to the enrolled domain. The end user cannot opt-out of AutoPilot, it must be done from the admin's side.

For security reasons, you can never provide AD or AAD passwords, but only credentials to join the domain. OOBE or the logon screen will pass you to the domain server for authentication.

If you have Office 365 SOHO subscriptions ("small office/home office"), then it's linked to MSA.
 
And how that make my answer wrong for OP?
I'm aware about what you're writing!
It's all in UnAttended.
 
Did you read the preset?
<HideOnlineAccountScreens>false</HideOnlineAccountScreens>

OnlineAccountScreens is visible. This was explained by the poster.

Settings -> System / Microsoft Account is set to Allow. Should it be set to default?

Not following I have looked through the settings in NTlite and the XML file can't see anything that is blocking the Microsoft Account. My first ISO I created with the XML config worked find but I didn't know that I was not able to connect to network drives. So I added smb components. Now I can't use Microsoft Account

Tested your preset twice with diff Unattended settings and sure it show Work/ School login after network setup.
UI Language is missing in both WinPE and Setup in Unattended - don't think that's the issue.
But what's make a difference is Compatibility - in Components tab go upper right corner and check the Compatibility tab and check all the components you need - Recommended is recommended :)

Tested with all possibilities in compatibility and you preset - still try log into shool/ work environment.
Somehow your preset don't work now - try from scratch and go from section from section removals in NTL to check components prevent the goal.
 
I tested your preset on a clean ISO, and the option to use a personal MS Account worked.
