  1. Unlinking live account with pc


    I previously had signed into my @live account set up but have since removed from account via Start> settings> email & app accounts.

    I have also signed out of that account from applications such as Word and Excel.

    However, my pc is still linked to that account and shows my personal photo on home screen and Settings Account profile.

    I would like to remove my personal account from the pc entirely but no longer see anything anywhere to further remove. Any ideas how I can do this?

    :)

  3. Contacts on phone and PC unlinked overnight

    Overnight, many but not all of the linked contacts on my phone and PC became unlinked - for example, someone's Live account, Facebook and SkyPe contact information got separated into three tiles (sometimes four, as I have an old Hotmail account also contributing
    contacts). On the phone, the contacts that are pinned to the start screen got deleted and replaced at the end. Even more strange, the list of unlinked contacts on the phone is a different subset from those in the PC People app.

    Is he cloud having a meltdown? Should I wait for the links to magically reappear, or should I start linking them again by hand (there are *lots* of them). If I link them by hand, what will happen to those contacts that are unlinked on the phone but still
    linked on the PC?
