Windows 10: There's something wrong with my Microsoft account

So today I turned on my laptop And an update happened, I waited for and logged in, but when I put in my password in, only see when it finally loaded that my desktop was completely different from how I had it set up, then I got a message in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen saying something about Microsoft password issues, I clicked it, and the settings came up, that's when I saw something terribly wrong, my Microsoft account name was different, it's now my gmail account name, not my original Microsoft account name, I started to have a bit of a panic attack, thinking I lost everything, I went into File Explorer and everything was gone, it was like as if I created a new Windows 10 account, the weird thing is, my Microsoft PASSWORD is still the same, but the Microsoft account name is what's different, and it shouldn't be different, yesterday my laptop and my Microsoft account was perfectly normal, but today, after a Windows 10 Update.


I hope it wasn't a hacker or anything, Please if you know how to fix this issue, please let me know!

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

• Is this the only account on the computer?
• Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
• Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Regards
