Another vote for Scratch[^].
I also strongly recommend buying the Makeblock mBot V1.1[^] programmable robot kit for any budding programmer. It uses a Scratch-like programming language and is very rewarding introduction to programming.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

An election I want to call soon
I don't give a stuff
If you've had enough
Of voting, for me it's a boon.

What the hell did I just read?
It leaves my brain in dire need.
I realize you don't give a stuff.
But, why post here all your fluff?

Politics is just a scam
They herd you and smoke you like ham
They all fight to get higher
Every one's just a liar
And, frankly, I don't give a damn

I can exit Sleep mode on the WookieTab without having to enter a password / PIN!
Yay! Anniversary Edition had the option, but ignored it. Leaving me with 4he ability to power up without a password, but not exit sleep... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It worked for me with a local login, but I accidentally switched it to a my MS login, and that killed it completely.

Ah, that's the mistake you made. I avoid the MS login... unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?), that means I can't use the Windows "store". LMAO.

I can use the windows store and I've not logged in using any MS Login...

Yeah, I can peruse it, but every time I want to install some app, the store wants me to use my microsoft account.

TheGreatAndPowerfulOzto use my microsoft account.
Just like any store would though. You can use a personal email account in your Microsoft account. It does not have to be a microsoft email.
