  1. Account Setup Issues


    So essentially, I'm trying to add a new user to an old pc--said user is myself, this is a desktop I've received from someone else. As we know, when adding users to a pc, it attempts to connect via their outlook account. Once I try to actually swap over to this account, it refused to let me in. First it goes through, but insists I set up a PIN before saying that's not accessible right now and giving the option to skip it, when I do, it simply returns to the other user's sign in screen.

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
