    Strange, Settings app works perfectly with every other action, but selecting Accounts, Settings simply closes. I have no way to use Settings to manage users.

    Everything else can luckily be done from elevated Command Prompt, but I would need to switch one local user to Microsoft account, which can only be done Settings as far as I know.

    I think it's time for a repair install.
    Just curious, Kari. Does this still work?

    Yes, Control Panel was OK. With it you can do everything else except add a user avatar and switch to Microsoft account. In my case the question was about both of these: I had just finished setting up this machine with additional user accounts I need in order to be able to use Windows with different languages. As always I set up new user accounts as local accounts to get preferred user profile names instead of five character abbreviations you get if new user is set up as Microsoft account.

    I then switch local accounts to Microsoft account. An example: doing it this way user Betty Ilana Tchaikovski with Microsoft Account email b.i.tchaikovski@SomeEmailProvider.com gets user profile named as Betty Ilana (or anything else she prefers) instead of Bitch which would be the user profile name if user account was created as Microsoft account.

    Short: I was not able to switch my additional user accounts to Microsoft account, and was not able to set profile avatars because those options are not available in Control Panel and Settings crashed as soon as Accounts was selected:

    Repair install, once again, fixed my issue and I now have Microsoft accounts assigned to users Finnish, Swedish and German, plus profile avatars set to these and local Admin account:

    That looks unhealthily organized. You need to add a Simplified Chinese to all that, just to round it out!
