    Yes it's another "That Microsoft account doesn't exist" question.


    I'm literally logged into this forum with this account.


    I'm trying to set up a new laptop, it's asking me to sign in with Microsoft then saying "That Microsoft account doesn't exist"


    No it's not an alias

    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 That Microsoft account doesn't exist :(

    That Microsoft account doesn't exist

    Hi,

    When I add my school O365 account login to Windows 10, it prompts "That Microsoft account doesn't exist" this account works fine for other
    O3675 services, please advise.

    thx, Adams.
