Windows 10: Signed in user does not exist?

This is what I am seeing. I'm signed in - you can see at the bottom there that's me signed into microsoft. For some reason I can't get into anything. Is this the "outage" that people are talking about? Them turning on Entra without having anyone using it?Please DO NOT reply with "Hi I'm sandeep/ishmael/rangu/samjit and not a real microsoft employee but doing my best to appear as one - please follow these steps I copy pasted from my 2nd job as a scammer where I use your details to steal your money but feel bad which is why I balance my karma by providing free, terrible advice on microsoft prod

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Changing Sign in Credentials for User Profile on Windows 10

Hello Keith,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand your concern in this regard.

• Is that existing account is a Microsoft account?
• Do you know password for the existing account?

If you say Yes for the two questions, then you can follow below mentioned steps for setting up your Microsoft account.

• First convert the old Microsoft account into Local account.
  To get started, login to your existing User Profile. (I.e. Your Son's User Profile)
• Go to Start />Settings/>Accounts/>Your Account
  and click Sign in with local account Instead. Enter existing Microsoft account credentials, when it prompts for authentication. Then follow the steps to switch your account to local account. Logoff and login back to the same account.
• Now let's convert this Local account to your Microsoft account.
• To do so, again go to Start /> Settings/>Accounts/>Your Account
  and click Sign in with Microsoft account Instead. Enter your Microsoft account credentials when prompted and follow the steps to switch back to your Microsoft account. Once you do this it will ask you to
  verify your device. Just click the same and follow the instruction to verify your device.

If this is the only account you had on your PC, then most probably it should have administrator
privileges. You can confirm the same by looking at
Your Account settings page, where it read your profile as administrator.

If in case the existing User Profile is a Local account, then you can setup another User Profile by using the existing User Profile. Refer
Create a local user account in Windows 10. Once you setup new local user profile, follow the 4 step for making it into
your Microsoft account.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.
