    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Can't sign in with MS account in Win 10

    Thanks, this was not my fault or mistake. I just switched to local account from MS account. It's very simple to back again to MS account. It's a fault of MS insider build. Afterall I tried as per your suggestions. My existing MS account is not removing from
    the list. Taskbar start menu not working. Very bad situation. I can't get further updates.

    Any other help plz.

    • Under Your email and accounts, click on Sign in with the local account instead.
    • Type in the account password.
    • You may change the account name and add a password.
