    Cant sign in because windows cant connect to Microsoft


    So finished building a new computer yesterday. I thought I would link my Microsoft account to it. .

    Also I usually don't have my network adapters enabled because I use a app with my phone.

    So today I go to log on and screen says "Sign In." I click it and it says "just a moment" then goes to a Microsoft account pop-up window. Then this window says "You'll need the internet for this" "It doesn't look like you're connected to the internet. Check your connection and try again."

    Then it says "Retry" or "Cancel"

    (Does nothing)



    I have the admin password and I am able to access the command prompt in the boot options.

    When I try to boot in safe mode it brings me back the same sign in screen.

    (tried unplugging ethernet, but could try doing that a few more times)

    The only things I thought of were:

    1. To try were to enable the Ethernet Adapter through cmd ( netsh interface set interface "Ethernet" enable).
    2. To reset all my network settings (netsh winsock reset) in hopes that it resets their state.



    1 didn't work, probably for the same reason "netsh interface show interface" doesn't show anything in cmd.

    2 said it ran but no change on internet connection.



    I'm stumped and way over my head.

    help is appreciated, even if you think I probably tried it already.

    Really hoping this post is ok and this can be fixed. . .

  2. fail to sign in Microsoft account to connect windows 10 instead of local account

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to refer to follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    Step 1: Try Disconnecting from the Internet


    • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.

    • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.

    Step 2

    Try to sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the account.microsoft.com page.

    If the sign-in is unsuccessful, then try to reset the password and check.

    If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

    If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
