Windows 10: Can only login with Microsoft Account

I have several local accounts on my computer, but the login screen only presents my Microsoft account. There is no way to switch to one of the local accounts. Also, from within windows once logged in, I have no option to switch user when I click on my identity at the top of the start menu. If I select switch user from Ctrl-Alt-Del I only get the same login screen at boot with my Microsoft account. I have the Administrator account enabled. I have tried a fair number of things including checking group policy, running SFC and DISM, making sure accounts are not disabled. SFC has an error at 58%, but DISM makes it all the way through. I got on chat with Microsoft and they gave up told me I had to reinstall and may loose some programs. Otherwise, my system works fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem changing password on a Microsoft linked account

Thanks for replying. The accounts are linked. I can login to my local account but when I try to change the password it only changes the Microsoft account password such that I still can login using my Microsoft account email as my user name and the old
password. But, my Microsoft account password is actually changed.

 

Cannot login with new Password Windows10

I'm able to login with my pin but cannot login with my microsoft account credentials. At first I could not login in to One Drive with my Microsoft Account (still can't) but now, since I changed my password I'm only able to login to my desktop computer
with my pin. Online I can login to my Microsoft and One Drive accounts no problem. This is very frustrating. The scenario: Can't login to One Drive with my Microsoft Account (per request) so I can't sync folders. Selections are all grayed out because I can't
login. So, I changed the password hoping a new password might help. No change. But now my desktop will not recognize the new password and I can only login with my pin. This is getting too crazy. Any solutions out there. Please remember, I cannot login
to my computer with the same credentials that I can login to my account (s) online with.

 

Hello Alan, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You might see if a repair install may be able to sort this for you and avoid a clean install.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

Thanks

I ran repair. It tells me It can't repair it and to try other options. Funny thing is that before repair starts I have to login and I am presented with all my local accounts to choose from. This is the case for all the troubleshooting tools.

 

Interesting. If you like, use the tutorial below to get details for all the accounts on your PC, and post back with them to see if it may reveal what's happening with them.

A little uneasy about posting all details. I would send in a message to you but I apparently need to get to five posts first

 

It's safe. There's no personal details in the information.
