Updated February 2025: Stop getting error messages and slow down your system with our optimization tool. Get it now at this link
Windows has changed the way you log in by introducing Microsoft Account Login. I’ve mentioned several times here that Microsoft Account Login has many additional advantages over local and domain accounts. The convenience of browsing and downloading from the Windows Store and syncing our devices are the main benefits of using a Microsoft account.
However, sometimes you will not be able to log in using your Microsoft account due to technical issues. In this case, even if you have entered the correct credentials, you may see this type of error:
You cannot currently log in to your PC. Go to account.live.com to resolve the issue or try using the last password you used on this computer.
What causes the “You cannot log in to your computer at this time” error message?
If your password contains uppercase letters, make sure you have activated the Caps Lock key, and then enter your password as this may have caused the issue.
Similarly, if your password combination contains numbers, be sure to turn on the number lock feature when you enter your password. If you have entered your password correctly following the tips above, and you have changed your Microsoft account password, but you still cannot log in.
You can follow the troubleshooting guide below to solve the You Cannot Log In on Your PC problem.
