  1. Changed my email for my Microsoft account and now can no longer login


    So i used to use yahoo for my microsoft account and recently updated it to my gmail. Now even with the correct login information it wont let me sign in when i want to open an application or any pop-up appears for a sign in. It is very frustrating as I can sign in on the web browser to my account but it wont let me on my microsoft account on my laptop as it still is showing the yahoo email address. I have even chosen sign in with a different account and it wont let me even though I KNOW I AM USING THE CORRECT PASSWORD. This is very frustrating and when I tried calling microsoft support it directed me to an online chat which is not much help as I am chatting with a software and not a real person that can do anything for me. PLEASE HELP!!

    :)

    User account info lost after changing login email



    Changed my email for my Microsoft account and now can no longer login [​IMG]


    I recently changed my main Microsoft account login email and after doing so, all my 10 machines no longer show my name on the login screen (shows my email address twice) or in the Start menu (only shows the email address) and as you can see in the above screenshot, permissions no longer show as my login and email address.

    Things I've done so far to try and correct it:
    1. Change my account to local login, then back to my Microsoft login, which temporarily corrected it, but then after a few restarts, the info gets lost again
    2. Manually added my name in Computer Management > System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users... this fixed it, but again, only until a restart
    Has anyone else experienced something like this and no of a way to correct it (and make it stick)?

  3. How do you change Microsoft account login email?

    I no longer have access to my Microsoft account login email, and I was wondering how to change my login email without creating a new account.
