Win10 Home - "Another user on this device uses this Microsoft account"

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. I understand that you receive an error, “Another user on this device uses this Microsoft account, so you can't add it here." when trying to link local account to Microsoft account. I’ll
certainly help you with this issue.



I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type lusrmgr.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Now, double click on Users on the left pane.
   
4. Look for any user with similar Microsoft account that you are trying to add. If you find any user, right click on it and select
   Delete.
   
5. Confirm the prompts if any.
   

You can also try removing the user using Command Prompt. Refer the steps mentioned below:



Note: Before removing the account, if there is any data in the user account, please take a backup of the data.

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, type net user to get the list of users on the computer.
   
4. Locate the user that you want to remove. Type
   net user {username} /delete.
   

Let us know how it goes.

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

 

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
