Windows 10: I changed my password and it won't let me log back into my microsoft account on windows 10

I don't know why but when me and my mom changed my password I can't sign into my account no matter what I do. I tried to restart it, I checked for viruses and did everything I could find but it still won't work for the past four months.


There has been another problem since I changed my password to my account. Whenever I went to an app, like the Xbox App, it would blink for a half second than not do anything. I also saw that whenever I tried to get an app, open a game, or get a game it would say something like "you need a new app to open ms-windows-store" and I can't figure out why nothing works when I search online for this. Can someone please help me.

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.”

Hi,

Thank you for posting your response.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed in your computer?

2. Are you using a Microsoft Account to log into your computer?

To open System Properties and check the version of Windows, follow the steps below:

1. Open Run Command (Windows button+R).

2. In the dialog box type control system and hit enter.

If you are using a Microsoft Account to log into your system and you are unable to change the password, then I would suggest that you sign in online and change your password. Follow the steps below to do so.

• 1. Click on the link below to open the Microsoft site, and then select
  Security & privacy.

• Select Change password.
• 
  Enter your current password, then the new password you want, then enter the new password again.

  Select Save.
  

Hope this information helps.

 

Windows 10: Computer prompting to enter Microsoft password after logging in the Microsof account into Xbox one app.

Hi Chris,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in system settings and use account settings.

To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "now requires a password to access it's my Microsoft password", are you logged in as Local Account in the Desktop computer prior automatic changing to Microsoft Account?
• When you say that "i have work laptop, HP, NOT on home network", are you logged in as Microsoft Account in the Work laptop?

If you were logged in as Local Account and then it has been changed into Microsoft Account. In that case, I suggest you to try to sign in back to Local Account through steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Select the Start
  
  button, then select
  Settings > Accounts > Your account.
  
• 
  Select Sign in with a Local Account Instead.
  
• 
  Follow the prompts to switch to a Local Account. Verify the Local Account's user name and password.
  

Please get back to us with an update on issue with automatic changing to Microsoft Account in Windows 10, we will be happy to help.
