Windows 10: I cannot log into my Microsoft Account in Windows 10 of Minecraft

Hello, Microsoft Answers Community.


I just got the Windows 10 PC version of Minecraft, and when I wassigning in to my Microsoft account in the game. A random error message shows up that says the following: “Failed to login. We tried to sign you in to your Microsoft account, but something went wrong."


That means that something went wrong, as I already signed in to the Microsoft account on the Virtual App Store. I have watched a tutorial on YouTube to solve this problem once in for all. When I have done all of the following in the video, the same error message happens.


I have an MSI gaming laptop, and I am uncertain if a gaming laptop would work in the Microsoft account? But I still am not sure about it. I do not know what else effecting this to not logging into my Microsoft account, and I decided to ask this community. I also want to prefer videos other than wordsbecause it helps me to figure out what to do when I see it in my own eyes.


If you have anything that I missed, please leave me a message on this message board, and I'll get onto this as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.


Sincerely,

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
