  1. Cannot sign in Microsoft account ' Another user on this device uses this mictosoft account' '


    First of all I had this wierd program that i couldn't locate nor delete. I therefore tried to delete it from regedit, however it just automatically closed and so i researched and wrote a command in the cmd and restarted. I noticed that i couldnt sign in my accountIt wasnt there on the available options in the lock screen and so a signed in on my other account that I dont use. I wanted to get back to my other account but when I sign in with Microsoft it says 'this account is already signed in on this computer' This is really frustrating Thanks

    :)

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, Cannot sign in Microsoft account ' Another user on this device uses this mictosoft account' ' :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

    sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
