Windows 10: Can't sign into any microsoft products on computer running Windows 11

A few weeks ago, I got a message that there was an error to fix while trying to use Mail. I still have a hotmail account which I use as my primary. I know my password and I can sign into hotmail through a browser. However, anything linked to my account on my computer, mail, Office, etc. shows an error. If I click on the link to correct the error, it runs forever and nothing happens. I would like to know how to fix this issue.

sign into microsoft account glitch

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

• Is this the only account on the computer?
• Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
• Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Windows 11 Windows update has been running automatically on my below-spec upgraded computer and has installed updates without any action being taken on my part. I listed the particular updates in post #285.

Hi Gloria,

The error code that your are getting when adding an account is usually caused by the following:

• Your phone has an incorrect date and time set.
• You do not have a data connection.
• Your phone is in a "bad state."

We suggest that you follow the steps on this link to set up your Microsoft
Account on your device.
