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
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?

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

Signing into Onenote app converts local account to microsoft account

Steps:

Sign into a local account

Open the OneNote app (tablet not desktop app)

Sign in to this app with a Microsoft account

The local account is then converted into a Microsoft account with that identity.

This is wrong and unexpected behaviour as no indication is given that the sign in is for the whole of windows rather than just OneNote.

It is also hard to revert.

I am guessing that other apps may exhibit the same behaviour.

In fact I don't understand how an app (which is supposed to be sandboxed and secure) can change user account information.
