Windows 10: Problem with Microsoft Store and account managing on Windows 10

Hi,

I just got a new computer, that was used. When I got it, it wasn't entirely rebooted (not sure if it's the right term), but it was fully fonctionnal. When I got home, everything was going well until I try to open a picture with Photos. The app wasnt installed. Tried to download it, didnt worked. Tried to open MS, didnt worked. Then, in parameters I tried to inspect what was wrong with MS and they said that no account was connected. Tried to add my account, but litteraly nothing happens. A new windows open so I can write my email in it, but close almost immediately.

I tried rebooting it entirely, but it says that I need a certain Usb drive that I don't have. Tried everything else I found on google.

Do I need to buy a new Windows 10 key?

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
