  1. Can't create local user, only get an 0x80004005 error


    What should have been a 2-minute task has turned into a death march, the kind only Microsoft can provide! *Mad I simply wanted to remove a long dead hotmail account from my user sign in account and update it with my current outlook email. Seems innocent enough. After much searching and finally finding out that you simply can't do this logical task, I found the 'magic formula' to achieve my goal. The problem is, Windows gives me an 0x80004005 error code after I complete filling out the information for the Local user, preventing it from being created. So it's not possible to switch to local, then switch back. Can anyone give a suggestion as to what to try next? I really miss Win 7! Thanks

    :)

  2. can't switch microsoft account to local account

    i can't switch my microsoft account to my local account. when i try to change it, it tells error 0x80004005 (in the forum this error means i have to activate my windows. the thing is my windows is original and activated)

    i also tried to create a new local account using cmd by net user username password add/ and cmd says that its already existed.

    I really need to switch to my local account because i cant be online 24-7
