    Invalid Microsoft account when updating


    I recently set up an outlook mail account using a new email address,.outlook.com. I then set outlook up to import my gmail,then deleted the new outlook account from the data files. Now,when I update my windows 10 I get an error message that it cannot find my microsoft account ending in outlook.com. I am logged into my computer using my usual microsoft account email and password yet its showing my deleted outlook account and saying it needs to be fixed.

    :)

    Trying to switch to Microsoft account from local, unable to...

    I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck.

    Any other suggestions.
