  1. Cannot manage/login Microsoft accounts


    Clicking any button that should open up an account management dialog window does simply nothing.

    I tried it in these scenarios:
    windows settings > account > email & accounts

    Neither "add an account" or "add a workplace or school account" does anything when you click it.

    Windows Store > account button in the top right > "Sign in"

    Clicking this does nothing.

    Mail > Accounts > Manage accounts

    Clicking "add account" does nothing.

    This behavior is the same for any kind of account button in windows 10.



    When I make a fresh (local) windows user on the same computer I can login to Microsoft accounts from that fresh windows user, but it doesn't work on my main user.

    There are a few people who have posted the same problem over the years, but all of those threads have been locked without any answers that worked for me. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email

  4. Cannot manage/login Microsoft accounts

    Cannot login with microsoft account on Windows 10.

    Hi John,



    If you are using Microsoft account to login into the user account, I suggest you to convert the user account to
    Local account and using the new Microsoft account change to Microsoft user account by following the below steps and check if the issue is resolved.



    Step 1: To convert to local account.



    • Press Windows logo + I keys on the keyboard to open system
      Settings window.
    • Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts, click on
      sign in with a local account instead option.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password and click on Next.
    • Type the Password, and Password Hint that you want set for the local account and click
      Next.
    • Click on Sign out and Finish button.
    • Login to check if the changes are effective.


    Step 2: To switch to Microsoft account.



    • On the newly converted Local user account, press
      Windows logo + I
      keys on the keyboard to open Settings window.
    • Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts click on
      sign in with a microsoft account instead option.
    • Enter the new Microsoft account ID and Password and click Sign in.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions and check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the status of not able to login using Microsoft account on the computer for further assistance.
