Windows 10: Windows 10 - "Sign In" dialog no longer showing any accounts.

Hi,


Recently I noticed that my OneNote was no longer synching and there was a message on the top asking me to sign it.

I clicked the button in the message and signed in with my Credentials.

From that point on I kept receiving an empty "Sign in" screen - where normally the accounts are listed, I just see a white area.

I observe the very same behavior also in the Microsoft store:

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.”

Cannot sign in microsoft account.

My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?

 

The Windows 10 sign-in screen no longer shows my accounts’ email addresses

Hi,

To improve customer privacy, the Anniversary Update introduces a new option in Settings to either hide or show their email address at the sign-in screen.
In order to protect our customer’s privacy concerns, the default setting for this option is toggled off, which keeps the email address hidden.



You can toggle this setting to show or hide your email address by going to
Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. If you want to display your email address, under “Privacy”, toggle the
Show account details (e.g. email address) on sign-in screen setting to ON.



If you’re stuck on the sign-in screen and can’t tell which email address you are being asked to provide the password for, you can use the Recovery Console to determine which account is which.
(Note: The following steps will not work if you have Bitlocker installed.)
To do this:

1. From the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key down while you select
Power > Restart.
If you don't have a keyboard connected to your device (e.g. tablet), you'll need to use the on-screen touch keyboard to do this. From the Windows sign-in screen, select
Ease of access icon in the lower-left corner, and select
On-Screen Keyboard.

2. After your PC restarts to the
Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot >
Advanced Option > Command Prompt.

3. Your device will restart again and the OEM or Windows logo will appear while Windows prepares the Command Prompt.

4. The Command Prompt screen will ask for you to choose an account to continue.
(Only administrator accounts will appear on this screen.)

5. Choose an account, and the email address will appear below the user name and you will be prompted for the password.
Once you are signed into your account, you can go to Settings, and toggle the sign-in option to show email addresses, as described earlier.
