    Can’t sign into my MS account when starting up my pc


    Hello to who can help me,I tried to log in to my PC earlier today and when I turned it on, there was an update and my PC restarted, once it was finished updating, I tried to put in my PIN code and waited and ultimately, I forced the PC to shut down with the power button. Now with my mistake whenever I turn on my PC it keeps saying “We can’t sign in to your account.” I followed the steps that it kept telling me to sign out and sign in, but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried everything that I’ve seen similar to my problems in this community, but resetting the PC to its factory settings. If anyone could

    :)

    No more sign in with MS Account on install?

    Please excuse the horrible quality and randomness of images. No important images pertaining to the question are missing. But I did skip irrelevant common steps when taking photos, just common stuff.

    At this step, I wasn't given any other choices, this was forced. This also happened disconnected and when skipping key entry.
    I was not given the option to: "Or, even better, use an online account"

    Win10 Pro - Digital Activiation - Not Linked to MS Account

    I've been doing some more swapping of OS on one of my machines recently, and checking my MS Account to see how it's list of devices behaves. The key step you may have missed out is to sign in to your MS account once you have the OS up and running. You don't have to sign in to the PC with your MS account, just signing into an app like the Store is sufficient. Seems that a 'device' is defined by the hardware ID or serial number of the PC, not the name your Windows uses for it. On recognising that it's the same machine but with a different name the existing entry in 'My devices' gets updated rather than appearing twice as separate devices.

    And likewise, Sin. It's good to see you! Can’t sign into my MS account when starting up my pc :) Hope all is well with you and yours.

    Sorry I can't comment here for I haven't clean installed an OS in quite awhile (using the Media Creation tool), however I did sign in with my MS account when I did. My 10 Creator Update has been on my machine for quite some time. A very stable OS I may add.

    Your pics are fine. I see you're upgrading all or most of your PCs I assume? I'm curious as to why you weren't offered to sign in with your MS account as well. I'm wondering if it's a regional/country mandate by law? Who knows with these crazy micro-managing laws today?! *sarc Not a suggestion, but I would think at this point you could create an MS account and delete the local one.

    I'm sure someone will look in on this. I'll be peeking in to see how this goes.
