  1. How do I sign in with My Micrsoft Account on my main profile?


    This is the situation, when I try to sign in to my computer using my Microsoft account it wont let, Its tell my that "account email" is already here.

    There is a profile for another user created with my Microsoft account linked to it. I don't know why this happened but I want to sign in with that account/email address. I'm the only person who uses this computer. Windows wont let me delete the user profile I can only change the settings for it, I have not setup that user profile and don't plan to. I'm guessing I have to remove that user profile and then sign in with my Microsoft account/ email on my main profile.

    :)

  2. Win 10: Creating a member (child) profile getting error that "The User Profile Service failed the sign in" User Profile can not be loaded

    Hi Simonalee,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    From the description, it appears that you are not able to sign in to user account. This issue appears if the user profile is corrupted.

    I suggest you to remove the account and then try to create new user profile.

    To do so:

    1) Type settings in the search box and then click on Settings app.

    2) Click on Accounts and then select Family and other users.

    3) In the right pane, try to add the family member and check if it helps.

    If the issue still persists, Check to see if it works by converting the Microsoft Account to Local and then back to Microsoft Account. Here`s how:

    • Go to Settings from the Start Menu.
    • Click Accounts. Under Your Account, click Sign in with a Local Account instead.
    • Follow the instructions. Sign Out and Sign in.
    • Then convert back to Microsoft Account.
    To connect back to the Microsoft Account, you will perform similar steps:

    • Go to Settings from the Start Menu.
    • Click Accounts. Under Your Account, click Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead.
    • Follow the instructions. Sign Out and Sign in.
    • Your account should now be connected again.
    Let us know if this helped.
