  1. Unable to sign into Microsoft account in windows


    This all started with a reinstall of windows through settings > refresh due to a random shutdown bug that I pinned down to a driver, but couldn't quite fix. During that refresh, when windows asked me to sign into my Microsoft account, it popped up a crappy looking, internet explorer'ish screen. I signed in, the authenticator app on my phone presented me with the accept/deny login prompt. But then it made me create a local account. When I finished the install, I couldn't add my Microsoft account through settings > accounts. It would briefly pop up a grey window that would close shortly after. Updated windows and was met with the same issue.

    So, I thought that was wired and tried the refresh again. Same problem. Installed from my 20.04 burned DVD, same problem. Now I'm out of ideas. Thoughts?

  2. sign into microsoft account glitch

    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

    Unable to login with microsoft account

    Hi,

    Issues with signing in to a Microsoft account are usually happening due
    the two-step verification is turned on or you are traveling or using a new device.
    For us to provide an accurate resolution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Are you experiencing the sign in issue upon logging in to your computer?
    • Are you having the same error when you are trying to sign in to your Microsoft account using a web browser? If yes, is the same issue happening even when you are using other web browsers?
    • Have you made any changes to your account before this issue occurred?
    • What changes have you made to your computer prior to having this issue?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you read and follow the suggested troubleshooting steps on these links:


    We are looking forward to your response.
