    Can't add a new account


    I log in as administrator. When I click on Add someone else to this PC all I get is a new window that disappears instantly.

    Found out you can't do it as inbuilt administrator.

  2. "Something went wrong" error when I try to add a Google or Outlook.com account.

    I am having a problem even with existing email accounts. Will this be part of the future fix? I can't access my existing accounts and I can't add a new one.

    My accounts have disappeared from Settings -> Accounts -> Your email and accounts -> Mail, Calendar and People

    Can't re-add a missing account, or a new one.

    Something went wrong. We're sorry, but we weren't able to do that. Error code: 0x80070422.

    Trouble shooter didn't help at all. I can't receive mail with my windows default account and I can't add any new accounts.

    It seems Option 6 is a good choice seeing as I can use an elevated Command Prompt without switching user. Thanks.
