Windows 8 Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Error on Startup

Hi,

 

There is a easier way to resolve the problem.

 

Go to Manage, then services and go to Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant.

 

Double click on MASA and change startup type to automatic, then restart the pc.

 

That's it, you should get the error any longer.

 

Thanks
