Fix: Unable to Login with a Microsoft Account After Rollback from Windows 10
One of the users on Microsoft’s forum complained about how he’s unable to login to his Microsoft Account after he performed a rollback from Windows 10 Technical Preview to Windows 8.1. If you have the same problem, we have a couple of solutions for you, and we hope at least one of them will work.
Solution 1 – Make sure the Microsoft Account Sign-in assistant service is running
This problem may occur if Microsoft Account Sign-in assistant service is not set properly. To check if this service works, do the following:

- Find and right click on Microsoft Account Sign-in assistant and choose Properties
- In Startup type, choose Automatic or Manual, then click OK.

Solution 2 – Disable third-party Antivirus Software
Maybe your antivirus software is the one that prevents Windows from logging in your account. So you can try and disable it and see if the problem still occurs. Don’t worry about your safety while your antivirus is disabled, because Microsoft’s Windows Defender will keep you safe from various malicious software and content even while your other antivirus is disabled.
