Windows 10: Windows 10 Setup not allowing me to sign in with Microsoft Account

I am trying to set up Windows 10 on my new SSD with help on the Media Creation Tool, I had actually done that before but it was not letting me sign in to my Microsoft Account, and it did not let me sign in at all when I had installed it in the first time. It used to open up and then crash, but that’s another story.


Right now, I performed a clean install of Windows 10, to try signing in into my Microsoft Account and I tried installing it both locally and from the Windows Media Creation Tool, but I get this:


In the first pic, it looks like there is something wrong with the website, it isn’t fully loaded yet, and I am using a really fast ethernet connection, so my internet speed should be out of the question. And in the second pic, even after I input my credentials, it still redirects me to make a local account. I tried to click the link to use the online account instead, but it leads me to this loop of inputting my credentials in a not loaded site and pretending as if I have chosen a local account

If I proceed further with making a local account, Windows will not let me log in to Microsoft to use my online account, it shows a gray box, which is supposed to show the page to input my online credentials to login to my account, but it closes after a few seconds. Like I said, that is another problem but they both are linked, and this is why I did a clean reboot to see that this doesn’t happen again, but it still did. This is ridiculous!


I hope someone addresses this annoying issue!

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.”

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
