Switching to a local account - error: 0x80004005

Hi Kas,

Error 0x80004005 is an unspecified error that normally occurs seen when the user cannot access Shared Folders, Drives, and also when Windows Updates fails to install. With this in mind, we would like to know more details:

• Before trying to switch to a local account, what was your last activity on your computer? Was there an upgrade or update installed?
• Are you the account administrator on this computer?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the error message? Error: 0x80004005 will normally be on a pop-up box with additional information about the error code. This may lead us to a direct and immediate solution. Click here to know how to post a screenshot. Please

Meanwhile you may try the following steps to switch to a local account:

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
