When things aren't working on Windows 10, it could be a problem with your Microsoft account, and this guide walks you through steps to use a local account to fix the issue.

Unless your computer is connected to an enterprise network, the chances are that you use Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, instead of a local account. This is because it's the new type of account Microsoft wants you to use, as it lets you connect all your devices and access virtually every service the company has to offer.
