Totally confused. After I setup a new local user and logged in with it, I tried to log in to my Microsoft account (under settings/accounts) where it says "log in with your Microsoft account instead." I input my Microsoft account login and password, clicked okay, then a box popped up that asked for my old Windows password one last time then it would allow me to log in with my Microsoft account password next time. [This is an attempt to try to get the apps to work when I login with my Microsoft account. As it stands now the start menu and apps do not function if I log in initially with my Microsoft account. Thought I might try the backdoor approach]
Not quite sure what Microsoft means by "Old windows Password"? So I input the same Microsoft Account password I used in the previous login box and it wasn't recognized. Still confused, I input the password from the user local account. Still not recognized. Now more confused than ever, I decided to change my Microsoft account password to see if that made a difference. Again, no recognition. Just can't seem to get past the confusing box that says "To make sure it's really you, we'll need your current Windows password one last time. Next time you sign into Windows you'll use your Microsoft account password.
If you don't have a Windows password, just leave the box blank and select Next."
Notice that inside the password input box it reads "Old Password". What "Old Password" is Microsoft talking about? If I leave that box blank, click next (after all, it says if you don't have a Windows password just leave the box blank and select next" I still get the message that my "old" password is not recognized. What "old" password??? My gosh, can it get anymore confusing?
