  1. I cannot sign into my Microsoft account in Windows 11


    If I try to add a Microsoft account through setting Windows very briefly for a fraction of a second opens a grey window and then closes it. I cannot add a Microsoft account to my machine and I cannot log into the store or the Xbox app. I have all the same issues. It opens a grey dialogue box for a second, and then closes it. I'm stuck.

    :)

  2. sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
