Hi, all. Years ago when I first created my Microsoft account I used my gmail address. I have since created an Outlook.com address and have changed that to my primary address for my Microsoft account. On my Surface Pro 3 it correctly shows my Outlook.com address now and the gmail address is no longer listed in my Accounts, which is the way I want it.

However, after resetting my Windows phone and signing in with my Outlook address, it still lists my gmail address as my Microsoft account. What gives?

Did you restore an old backup?

I would expect the Microsoft Servers to catch up with this faux pas given time. Wait about 48 hours and see what happens...

Ah. Yes I did. I assumed it would only restore my apps and settings.

Should I reset and start fresh, or wait a bit for the servers to catch up and see if the account name changes?
