Windows 10: Modify RDP account mail

Hello,I would like to change the email associated with my Microsoft account.Currently, this email is used for logging in here, accessing my machine with RDP, and backing up my Windows data on Microsoft servers I believe... I don't pay a subscription, and I haven't needed to reinstall my system yet.I want to change the email used for RDP and data backup. If I'm not mistaken, these are not separable anyway.But, of course, I wouldn't want to be locked out of my computer.What is the correct procedure?Thank you.

Microsoft Account and Authentication during RDP

Hello, trying to RDP to my windows 10 (fall creators update) via RDP but the RDP client always fails with invalid credential.

I have tried the combinations:

• Microsoft account primary alias and Microsoft account password
• Local username associated with my Microsoft account and Microsoft account password

Neither is accepted for sign in. I have Mobile sign in enabled on my account so I technically never entered my password here.

 

RDP to non-admin account not working


I can RDP to an account that is an admin account but not to a non-admin account.
I have read to check the users and make sure the appropriate accounts have been added to the user list but the option to view or edit the user list is missing from my settings window:



[Advanced Button:]



is there something I can check/change in the reg editor or in group policies or something to make this appear or perhaps just to enable it directly for that account?
For reference this appears the same if I'm logged in as admin or as non-admin. (have to give admin privileges anyway to see this window in the first place)
Thanks to anyone who can help
