Windows 10: Unable to sign into Microsoft account on Windows 10. Asks to install app from microsoft...

When I was still logged into my Microsoft account, I was unable to do anything so I switched to a local account only for windows to give me an error. However, after restarting my computer, it switched to a local account where I was unable to sign into my Microsoft account.


So when I try to sign in to my microsoft account in windows 10 via settings>Account>Your Info>Sign in with Microsoft account instead, a box pops up saying "Search for App in the store, you need to install an app for this task". When I click yes, the Microsoft Store pops up and says" page could not be loaded. Please try again later."



I have tried to reset the Microsoft store to no luck was the problem fixed.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

Unable to Sign in with a Microsoft Account and other issues on Windows 10

Hello,

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 from a windows 7 system, and have since updated the new OS and all the apps from the Windows Store. Unfortunately I am facing a few minor issues which I hope to get resolved from suggestions on this post. the issues are
as following.

• I am unable to sign in to Microsoft account at Settings>Accounts>Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
  When I click on this link nothing happens.
• Even though I am able to update an already installed app using the Store, I am unable to install any new app from the Store. For instance, when I try to install Microsoft Sway app from store by clicking on the "Free" button on the app description page,
  the Store will close down and nothing will happen.
• I am unable to add any account to either the Mail or the Calendar app. When I click on the "+Add Account" button, again nothing happens.

All the above issues seems very similar to me that is why I have clubbed them in a single post. Please let me know how to resolve them.

Just to be clear I can login to my microsft account by visiting outlook.com on any browser including Microsoft Edge.

Best, Abhishek
