Why do I keep getting Verify identity - parameter incorrect?

Verify identity - parameter incorrect

So, my Windows 10 tech preview, starting with build something, says 'You need to verify your identity' under "Accounts". When I try to do that, it pops up with a window saying "the parameter is incorrect". This makes services like mail, onedrive, albums and so on unusable since I am not authenticated

The issue is still there with build 10158.

I can log in just fine on the Windows install itself, no issues there.

Anyone seen this before? Not a big deal, it is a test VM only, but just curious.

Perhaps this link might help: "The parameter is incorrect." - Windows 10, build 10158 - - Microsoft Community

Thanks. I did actually search for posts prior to posting myself. Oh well. I created a local account, then I signed out of that one and in again with my online account. Worked.

Thank you.

Kenneth, I'm glad you got it sorted.
