    My original MS account was closed and inactive for the 60 day reactivation window. Several months after closing I decided to reactivate and created a new account using the same email address. All is well and I'm able to sign in. However, when I tried to remove my PIN sign in option I got the 'verifying it's you' window to log PIN which went okay but that was followed by the MS Account Sign In window which, when I use my email/password in any other window, says the account user/password is incorrect. How can I get past this MS account login window when it refuses my user/password that works in

    :)

    77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

    Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.

    Any Program Starts and then 10 seconds later Closes. Why?

    My system is 64 Bit Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19043 with Update 21H1
    My program was working. I saved a copy of my work then later came back to continue working. The program would start then 10 seconds later would close. My programs including Teamspeak, Mobile Plans, Zoom, Windows Administrative Tools, Notepad and many 3rd party programs now all do the same thing. The only programs that will continue to work are MS Office, File Explorer, Task Manager and MS Edge. I am able to open JPG files in File Explorer.
    If I go into Settings and go to Update & Security, Recovery, Reset This Computer, the routine will open but then close 5 - 10 seconds later. I can go to Control Panel, select uninstall a program and the routine will start and then close. I cannot install a program through Control Panel nor can I run Restore.exe. The programs or routines start and the close without achieving a result.
    As I have indicated the computer was working well, it had not been turned off and then when I came back to do more work the above problems occurred.
    Can anybody suggest the next step other than re-formatting the drive?

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
