  1. Microsoft Account


    I recently changed the email address associated with my Microsoft account. My computer is working fine, but, my picture in the upper right hand corner of the shows the old email. If I log on to Microsoft, the picture there shows the correct email. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    :)
