Laptop not listed in Devices in Microsoft Account

Hi. When I log into my Microsoft account and check under Devices, I only see 3 out of 4 devices that I use with the account. Listed are two nokia windows phones running win 8.1 and 1 hp stream 11 laptop running windows 10.

My main hp-15 laptop running windows 10 is not listed.

I've tried the steps here:

Add a trusted device to your Microsoft account

to make it a trusted device but it doesn't make my hp-15 laptop listed.

Thanks

Laptop not listed in Devices in Microsoft Account

It seems to only work temporarily with my laptop and only if I'm logged into the computer with a microsoft account which I verify. If i go back to a local account, the listing under devices disappears. However, another netbook I have that I use a local
account with remains listed.
