Windows 10: My account has been frozen

I recently was logged out of my OneDrive account on my PC because I had been over the storage limit for quite some time. I tried to log into my account from OneDrive website but as soon as I logged in to it it showed an error message that said that my account has been frozen and that I need to free up my storage. That's what I did I cleared out my storage and now it sits on 1% but the error message wont go away and my account won't go back to being not frozen. I tried to reach help from Microsoft support but I couldn't find any because they don't allow you to speak directly with Microsoft tech

frozen screen

Hi Philip,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10!

I understand your surface screen is frozen. In this case, I would suggest you to hard restart the tablet by pressing and holding the power button and restart the tablet. Check if the issue persists.

If the issue still exists, I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if the issue persists.

Method 1:

Try to run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption.
SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

• Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
  
  sfc /scannow

If the issue still exists, try the next method.

Method 2:

You may check the same issue with the new user account.

Try these steps to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
• Select Add an Account.
• Enter a user name and hit Next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
• Check if issue persists.
