Windows 10: Sign into cortana Windows 10 Work E-mail

I am trying to sign into Cortana to be able to access my Power BI reports. Cortana does not let me sign in with my Work E-mail address. After some online searches, I did go to settings-> account -> Access work or school. My work email is signed in yet I am not able to access Cortana/BI.


Looks like different version of windows affect signing into Cortana. After checking for updates in settings, the windows updates look good.


Edition: Windows 10 Pro

Version 1703

OS build 15063.1508



Any help would be appreciated.

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.”
