Windows 10: Win 10, local user, cannot connect to Microsoft Account

Hello everyone.

Normally, I am no slouch in trying to find a solution to a problem with searching the net, but so far I haven't found a solution to my problem.

Upgraded my Windows 10 from Win 7 Ultimate. So I started Win 10 with a local account. Which is joined to a local domain in my network.

I have recently tried multiple times to link my local account to my Microsoft account. With NO success. Every time windows brings up the window to link my local account with a Microsoft account, the stupid window dispersal.

I am at a loss for words so great that I am furious. Now I do have an account set up on Win 10 with my Microsoft Account, but I WANT to link it to my local account. I have tried removing it, and it STILL not working.

I am at my wits end. Please help.

:)

 

Cortana on Win 10 desktop continually asking to login to microsoft account

I figured it out, you can't have 2 local users with the same Microsoft account.

I created a new Microsoft account and the new local user profile was promoted to the Microsoft account.

everything now works

its a limitation in win 10, nice of Microsoft to tell us

I think Microsoft should dump the store and the Microsoft accounts from win 10 until they fix all the bugs, it making win 10 look bad

 

Windows Password Problem

I just upgraded my Win 8.1 laptop to Win 10.

But ... A year or so ago when on Win 8 I set up a Windows local account password and then a 4 digit pin.

I can remember the Pin and use that to logon to that local account but I cannot remember the "Old"password that Windows 10 keeps asking for just to "prove that I'm me".

How can I recover or remove the original *local account* Windows password (Not the Microsoft online account) if I do know the local account pin?

I have a Microsoft account and did connect with that and I know that online password so the website that helps with lost Microsoft account passwords does not help me.

Thanks for any help with local password recovery.

Ok, based on my experiences today, what browser are you using?

I was trying to get things involving user accounts working using my default browser (Firefox), without success.

I tried again using Microsoft's new 'Edge' browser, and it worked immediately.

 

Not using a browser. Trying to do everything within windows. I want to merge my Microsoft account with my Local computer account on my domain controlled pc.

 

I have the same issue. If i click other options like iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo or other account, the User name password window does appear. And when i click google, something works in the background and shows a error "Something Went Wrong" (0x80040154). And when i click Microsoft account a window pops up for a brief second and vanishes.

I also has another PC where i cannot close the CMD window by clicking close button. And if i use a ping command, i cannot stop it by using "Ctrl+C". The only way to close it is to end it via task manager.

 

I was also facing same problem..upgraded OS from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10..Anybody,If found solution give a reply to L: teja.phani1992@gmail.com
