    Windows switched my e-mail after using xbox live app.


    I have had my computer for a while, and I linked it to my Microsoft account right after I got it. I have checked this numerous times for various reasons. I recently installed the xbox live app on my PC as it was used by a lot of games in the Microsoft store. My son wanted to try a game I had (No man's Sky). It only allows 5 saves per profile, so he signed in using the xbox app so he could play. (Keep in mind, I was already signed in on the app before this). Well, my computer started giving me issues. Chrome and Tor both stopped working, and Edge started popping up for everything. I spent all morning troubleshooting why they weren't working with no luck. I finally opened my account settings and saw that instead of my e-mail, my Microsoft account was now linked to my sons. I searched and found a lot of different solutions, none of which worked for me. I am beyond frustrated. I have a brain injury, and I can only function for a little while at a high level before I am exhausted. I need my computer to work when I am able to work on it, because often, I am unable to. I have a lot of assistive devices that link to it also. I am very concerned that I will not be able to resolve this, and I don't know that I would be able to switch to a totally new computer or reinstall windows. I have sen that this forum is very helpful, and I am hopeful someone will be able to figure this out for me and talk me through it. Thank you for reading this. I know it is a bit of a ramble.

    I am running Windows 10, 64bit edition.

    Windows 10 Mail app deleted all my e-mail accounts

    The Windows Mail App (The e-mail client that comes with Windows 10) is where I had all my e-mail accounts setup so I just had one place to check them. All of the e-mail accounts that I had added to the client are now gone. When I open the app instead of seeing a list of my e-mail accounts I see the app as it was when I first started to use it.

    My e-mail accounts should be listed in the left hand column under Accounts.
