Windows 10: Everytime i link my microsoft account in settings i cant sign when on welcome screen

So this happened after i activated windows and linked my microsoft account in settings when i restarted my pc everything went fine till the welcome screen came up and there is no white background behind the sign in button so when i click on sign in it stays for a few seconds and a microsoft store window pops up im still on the singing in thing that says " you need to install an app to run this task " if i press yes or no i go back to the welcome screen and have to press sign in again for the same thing to happen unless i go in troubleshoot and use a restore point before i linked my microso

Settings home screen displays link to sign-in to local account

I always sign-in to Windows with my local account password. The administrator account is the only account that was ever set up on the system. I've never changed to a MS account. Just the past three weeks or so, a link to sign-in with a local account began to display at the top of the home screen in Settings. I’m not seeing what the link is for. If it said MS account, it would maybe make sense



- - - Updated - - -

So MS added another place to sign-in besides going to the link in Settings >Accounts>Your Info. I don’t believe Microsoft ever clearly communicated the downside on these links. They should be used as a one time thing and should not be used to go back and forth. The risk involved can lead to account corruption. Not good, MS.

 

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

• You do not have a data connection.
• Your phone is in a "bad state."
