Windows 10: You'll need the Internet for this 0xCAA30194 Error

Hi!


I've been trying to Set Up a Work or Education Account in Windows 10, but I've been getting an error saying that I need to be connected to the Internet (but I am).












How can I resolve this issue?
I've tried some of the possible solutions that I found online - such as changing to local account login, but to no avail.


Thanks!

:)

I seem to fixed the issue. Thanks to Google, Microsoft TechNet and Answers. Searching (

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Search/en-US?query=0x800704cf&ac=4) gave me some insights that this might have to do with Network Adapters. Since I had HyperV installed with its Virtual Switches and it's dependencies, I thought of removing it via
Turn Windows features on and off . And there it is. No more errors. As mentioned in the web, try removing or uninstalling any network adapters you don't use and any VPNs along with it.

Now there are only two items in Network Connections:





So that's it. Hope this might someone else.

I wasn't updating nor upgrading. I was trying to add my Hotmail account in Mail App.

I tried DISM steps from System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot

Still the issue persists. Will do sfc now and let you know.

Similar to the issue here: Windows 10 Error 0x800704cf

But no solutions have been provided there except for DISM and sfc /scannow.

I hope the solution will be different this time. My hunch is if any services are disabled or not running.

 

Work and Education accounts need a suitable Work or Education Domain account and access to the internet to set up. This function is a way of joining a personal system to a domain owned by a Company or Educational Establishment who run a Domain based computer network. This is used mostly for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), systems where the employee or student , uses their own hardware to access Company/School/Organisation resources (Software, Hardware Etc)

The system administrator of the domain will assign a user an appropriate User ID, (normally an eMail address), and normally will also allocate access rights to shared resources, Central Disk Space, Printers, these will be available after you have logged on to the actual Network.

You will also find that when logged into the Domain you will have restrictions to what you can change on your settings on your own system as it's normal to manage these centrally
