    Hello,I've been trying to log into my Microsoft account from my Windows 10 Settings > Accounts > Your info page. Every single time I attempt to, it would ask for me to input the password in again, then says that it's an incorrect password. I can log into Microsoft.com and into the Microsoft Store app that's preinstalled with Windows 10.I have restarted my computer, waited 24 hours and tried again, and restarted my modem and router. Then I installed the Microsoft authenticator app, and used the app password, which still didn't work. Then I've changed my password and tried again, but it st

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.
