    Work account is closed but log in window still appears


    I have 2 issues....


    First I retired and no longer use my microsoft email work account so I closed it a few months ago. It took until this month to finalize that it is closed. However the pop up window still appears when I go on the Microsoft page. I have a hotmail account but that never shows up. I received a confirmation that the work email account was closed, so why am I still seeing this?


    My 2nd issue is the little grey pop up box asking me for the server, the email to my hotmail account and when I put the password in, it just keeps appearing everytime I "X" it out.


    What is happening with this box? How do I remedy these two situations?


    Thank you for your help!

    :)

    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.”

    Child account not appearing to log into

    Hi Lambert

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed? See how to verify:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wik...

    Child accounts should show up in Start > Settings > Accounts > Family & other users under 'Your family'

    With Child listed under their name.

    Log into http://account.microsoft.com/family

    Check to see if the account is listed there.

    Step 1:

    Change the date of birth on your Microsoft Account to ensure it reflects your are 18 years or older:

    Change the birthdate on your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12411/...

    Step 2:

    It is possible there is a profile issue, you could try changing the account privileges to Standard User from Administrator to see if it logs you in.

    In your current account

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Task Manager

    Select the Users tab

    Select the account, then click Disconnect

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: control userpasswords2

    Hit Enter

    Select the other account

    Click Properties

    Click Group Membership

    Select Standard user

    Click Apply then OK

    Click Apply then OK again

    Restart the machine, the try logging into the account.

    If that doesn't work, then it suggest NTUser.dat might be corrupt.

    Open Start, type view advanced system settings

    Hit Enter

    Under User Profiles, click Settings

    For the affected profile, click Delete

    Select your user profile or another user profile that is able to log on successfully.

    Click Copy To..

    Click Browse then save it somewhere on your drive

    Rename it to something else

    Open File Explorer > This PC > system drive where Windows is installed

    Open the Users folder

    Open the troubled profiled

    Go to the View tab, then check off Hidden items in Show/Hide

    The NTUser.dat with backed up earlier, copy it into this folder

    Restart, then check if you can log in.
