  1. Windows 10 Microsoft Account Bug


    So I recently switched my primary user email from my parents to mine. An issue came up when trying to sign into the Xbox companion app where when I type in the email it says that account doesn't exist. When I press create new one it transferred my email there and then said this email already exists... .-. So I try to go back and then i get a green screen. I've consistently tried going back to log onto it for the past 6 months but it never works. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the account but I am able to log onto my account in the Microsoft store and on google chrome. I even got the Windows 10 version of Minecraft and was able to download it but when i try to sign in there same issue happens. So main question is what do? Has anyone had this issue before because I may not be the most tech savvy but I've tried just about everything and I'm stuck. Also not sure if this matters but I'm in a job that travels. Account is a US account. Right now I'm trying in Europe. Could it be a location issue?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 10 Microsoft Account Bug :(
