Windows 10: account added number problem

"Hello, I'm trying to verify my Microsoft account using my phone number, but I'm receiving a message saying 'We don't support that country code. Add an email instead.' Despite selecting the correct country code, my phone number isn't being accepted. Could you please assist me with this issue?"

Account problem

Aslam,

Yes, the procedure is complex but I split it into individual steps that, I believe, can be followed by anybody.

Booting into Safe mode is explained in section 3. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

Getting into the built-in Administrator account is explained in section 4. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

Any local account and any MSAccount can be made a "Standard" account or an Admin account. You need to be logged in to an Admin account in order to raise a Standard account to Admin status.
- Once you are logged in to one of the Admin accounts that I suggest that you create, you can go to Settings, Accounts, Family & other users so that you can select the account you want to raise then click on the Change account type button that appears.
- Be wary of promoting then relying upon the current problem account because its user profile might be damaged. I cannot say that it is definitely damaged but only that something has gone wrong.

Problem adding a POP3 email account


It does work fine with pop.





It has a problem with 2 step authentication. What is the domain?
Is your username the same as email address?

 

Problem adding a POP3 email account

My apologies, got it working but I'd never dream of using it.
I have to click this




then select either my MS account or my POP account before I can view my emails.

It's horrible, it's like a phone app. Thunderbird for me.
