Windows 10: How can I readd my Windows 10 PC to Microsoft Account Devices

Hello. I removed my Windows 10 PC from "Microsoft Account -> Devices" as it was showing wrong Hardware Infos. Now I am unable to readd this PC to Devices.


I already tried a couple times to readd the Microsoft Account -> log out from the MS Account -> log in to the local Account -> restart the PC -> log in to the Microsoft Account etc. but nothing works.


The Microsoft Account Troubleshooter find no Issues.


Any other possible Options to readd my activated Windows 10 PC to Microsoft Account -> Devices?


Thanks!

Can't Readd Device to Microsoft Account

I own a Dell XPS 13 but it's not the first one I had due to a variety of reasons. Both of these devices were connected to my account and were displayed identically in my devices list. I accidentally remove the wrong computer and can no longer readd it
back to my list of devices. How am I supposed to readd the computer now?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
