  1. Windows 10 unable to sign in to my account on PC


    Working with TeXstudio and other apps got error message Windows had to close. On restarting unable to sign into account error, plus Edge error missing file. Solved Edge problem by downloading from website and installing. None of the fixes for signing in worked so had to create a new account. Attempted to reset Windows but failed immediately from cloud and part way through from local computer. Although this PC is now working normally for the moment I have two concerns. First I have been unable to repair Windows so the problem may recur. Second my Windows installation is registered to the accoun

    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.”

  3. Unable to sign in to my account.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand your concern, in order to get more clarity and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps please reply with the answer to the below question:

    1. Which accounts are you unable to sign in to?
    2. What happens when you try to sign in to your account?
    3. Are you seeing any error messages when you try to sign in to your PC?

    If you are referring to the Microsoft account and if your Microsoft account has been compromised, it means that someone might be using your account to access your personal info or send spam. I suggest use the following guide to
    get back into your account, review your personal info and settings, and help prevent this from happening again. Refer the article on

    How to access a compromised Microsoft account
    and try to reset your password. If the issue still persists you can follow the remaining steps mentioned in the article and check if that helps.

    Regards,
