Windows 10: I got a message saying my Microsoft account needs fixing, but I never used it since...

After making the account, I then immediately replaced it with a local one which is what I've used since. So why am I getting this message now? It says:

"Microsoft account problem: We need to fix your Microsoft account (most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in Shared experiences settings."

OneDrive is also saying it can't sign in, although that's another service I've never used, nor did it mention there was a problem until now.

Cannot link/add my Microsoft Account to Local Account


Hello Ken,

Im using Win10 Build 1607 with all latest update.

I also run all related troubleshooters:

• Windows Update
• Store Apps (says i have to login in my microsoft account but thats the problem, i can't)
• Microsoft Accounts

No Problem found. Also the suggestions from Microsoft didnt helped.

 

Cannot sign in microsoft account.

My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?
