  1. Add an account not working!


    Hi, So I was about to add my sister's school account on my Laptop, but as it turns out I can't do any account stuff in the settings. I tried to create a Microsoft account, a school account and also just tried to manage my existing accounts but as I click on their respective buttons, a login prompt pops up for a second but then goes out. Also I can't seem to change my PIN as It gives an error their. All this started happening after my Laptop threw me out of my Microsoft account as I tried to enter my pin after waking it up from sleep mode. I was able to log in by verifying my Microsoft account

    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
