Windows 10: Computer not updating to new Microsoft Account password

I have recently updated the password on my Microsoft Account. This is the login that I use on a desktop and a Surface. After about 2 hours the password of the Surface changed to the new one, but after 2 days the desktop is still using the old password. Is there any reason why the desktop wouldn't update?

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
