Windows 10, Build 10240
My Account page says "You need to verify your identity." When I click the blue Verify button, I get a gray box that lingers for a few seconds, then disappears. If I click it again, the same thing happens. I can go to "Manage My Microsoft Account," and all seems to be in order. My devices are listed and my personal info are correct.
Similar problem when I go to Insider Hub. A gray box appears, lingers for a while, then disappears. Then I get a page that says "Please sign in and connect." "Try again" yields the same result. If I click "Register," it takes me to a page that says "Welcome back Insider" with my correct identification.
Have run sfc /scannow, and it reports no problems found.
I cloned the drive and upgraded to 10525, but the problem remained. I set up a new Local Account (as Administrator). I used that account to Remove my Microsoft Account, then tried to set up a new Microsoft Account. It would not allow me to do that. When I tried, I got the gray box again. It lingered for a few seconds, then disappears. I could log in on my new Local Account, but could not create a new Microsoft Account.
I reverted back to Build 10240, but the problem remains. Also, I cannot download anything from Microsoft Store. I can access the store and browse around. It recognizes me. But, when I attempt to download an app, I get the usual gray box that quickly disappears, then is replaced by a box that says, "Try again later. Something happened on our end." The only option I have to Close that box.
This system has lost its insider status and cannot retrieve it. When I try, I get the "gray box" treatment again.
This is my "main" system, so starting over is out of the question. I will just live with the annoyance until a solution arrives. Don't have this issue on any of the other Win10 systems.
Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
Regards,
Russ
