I have a Windows 10 Pro PC.


Also made a local account and a dummy Microsoft account and tried to go to Settings> Accounts > and "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead" and I'm getting the error message: "Oops something went wrong".

1. I've downloaded and ran the Microsoft accounts Troubleshooter

2. Logged into https://account.microsoft.com and is now sure that it's not incorrect password.

3. Done Windows Network Diagnostics

4. I don't have a 3rd party anti virus

5. Tried to log on another computer and it actually works fine.
