Windows 10: Cannot login to my microsoft account in Minecraft Windows 10

When i press on the sign in button on the bottom left it just hangs at the "Signing in with your microsoft account...." and nothing ever happens. Same when I go to "Settings" -> "Profile" -> "Sign in for free". It just hangs at the "Signing with your microsoft account..." window. And again nothing ever happens.

Retrieve Minecraft Key On An Account, Which Is Not Accessible.

Hi,

Have you lost the login information of Mojang Account or the Microsoft Account?



If you have forgotten the login information of the Mojang/Minecraft Account, then I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in

your Microsoft Account.



If you still have issues, then I suggest you to contact Mojang Customer Support and they

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
