    Unable to link Microsoft Account to my Local Account


    Hi all,

    When I click on the link to associate my Microsoft Account to my Local Account (after upgrading from Windows 7), it simply does nothing. Click, click, click.

    Similarly, when I try to log in the Windows store app, I get an application error with cryptic codes (nothing meaningful).

    However, when I switch to another local account (my grilfriend's), I'm able to link a Microsoft Account (get the user/password prompt) and go to the Store and log-in.

    Is there a way to fix my account (which was used to do the upgrade) or should I create a new one and start over with it?

    Thanks!

    B.

    Might want to try the Microsoft Accounts Troubleshooter. If that doesn't help it's possible corruption exists and you might have to start over. I've had that happen a few times.
