    Can't sign in to my microsoft account on pc and cant access the folder with my user data


    My computer was not working yesterday, I eventually managed to get it working but when I went to login to my account at start up it takes a long time loading and then goes into a temporary account that says "Can't sign in to your account" my brothers account on the other hand is working as normal, I have started the comp in safe mode and it still wouldn't work, I also disabled anti virus but it still sends me to a temp account and says I can't login. When clicking on this PC and users in the c drive it will not allow me to view my files on that account saying "you don't have permission to view this" but I can view my brothers user contents, any ideas why I can't login or even view my account contents in the c drive? The email my pc account is connect to is still logging in fine on mobile.

    :)

    Local Acct user and MS account user - sync them or merge them

    If the local account is the one where you have most of your personal data, this is how I would do it:

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account
    • Copy all documents, pictures and other personal data from Microsoft account's user folders to corresponding folders in user Public (contents of MS account Documents folder to Public Documents folder and so on)
    • Sign out from Microsoft account
    Notice that above steps are only required if Microsoft account user folders contain data you want to keep. If its user folders are empty or do not contain anything worth saving, you can skip the above steps. Continue from below.

    • Sign in to the local account
    • Delete the Microsoft account (Option One in this tutorial)
    • Switch your local account to a Microsoft account (tutorial)
    • Copy the data backed up from old Microsoft account to Public folders to new Microsoft account in corresponding folders

    That's it. Using the Public folders as temporary storage you will have none whatsoever file owner / permission issues later on.

    Can't sign in to my microsoft account on pc and cant access the folder with my user data

    Cant sign into my Microsoft Account

    Thanks for your help freebooter, altho i have managed to figure howbto run the command as an elevated administrator, i did run it and it found nothing, im running it again now - cant hurt. My real problem is that my windows 10 will not let my change from a local account to a micrisoft account. I have been having problems that my store was not detecting my internet connection, ive since found that all microsoft apps, including edge (i use firefox) wont detect my connection. Well i signed out of my microsoft account into a local account in the hopes that it would rectify the matter, it didnt and now i cant sign back into my microsoft account. Even with a local account i still cannot log into the store and the other apps.
