  1. I cannot use my Microsoft account at all


    I have been receiving this error for months every time I try to use my Microsoft account for anything, such as to log in to the Microsoft store, Minecraft, Windows, anything:You'll need the Internet for this.It doesn't look like you're connected to the Internet. Check your connection and try again.0x800704cfI have searched through the entire Microsoft Community and tried everything for people with the same problem. I have looked on YouTube and Reddit as well and I am very stuck. I cannot even send Windows feedback because it requires me to log in to my Microsoft account.

    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
