    MSAccount Needs Attention - Return yet again of an old issue


    Old Thread, return of same issue. Account needs attention/Fix me throws error ox80070057 - which as near as I can tell refers to acl as to file(s) and/or registry keys. I don't think its the Win Pro 64 Build 11102...because i can make an iso, either from this one's esd file or one of my other systems, and re-install over it as an upgrade, with no issues.

    i don't think its the account either. .I've got at least two msa's that are insiders, and this issue appears on this one system with either.

    i suppose as long as ONE of my systems is working, I can continue to do others with iso's, which to me is far more sensible anyway. AFAIK update is designed to patch; shoe-horning re-imaging into it seems like a poor strategy, and has proved considerably more trouble-prone than the old methods...download exe or msi or cab or iso, and go from there.

    (This system and two others have had this error before..rtm builds seem to remove it, sometimes preview build installs cause it once again).

    :)

    Verify User account

    It only calls for verification for MSAccount-linked user accounts.

    An MSAccount is an online account so it needs to go online to do any changes.

    Personally, I would make a password-protected local Admin user account before trying to change anything on the MSAccount & I would write the password down somewhere handy yet secure from loss. I would keep that account afterwards even though I had no immediate
    intention of using it. That spare Admin account would therefore be available to help you rescue the situation if your day-to-day user account ever became corrupted [this does happen].

    Skipped MS Account login during Win 10 clean install setup, how do I go back??? I want to log in with Microsoft account.

    Thank you Denis for your very thorough reply! I'm assuming there's no way to abort the current setup process and start over again, this time taking advantage of the MSAccount login prompt. If not, I'll follow your suggestions on setting up the local account(s)
    and then linking to my MSAccount.

    Kind regards!
