Can't login to Microsoft Account/Reset Surface RT and can't sign in to Microsoft account/Can't connect to Microsoft Services

I have reset my Surface RT before. Being an IT professional, I have installed Windows 7/8/10 multiple times. Just reset my Surface RT to default settings. I am trying to set it up for my daughter. She has a hotmail account already (uses it on our other computers). When I try to sign her in when setting up Windows after the hard reset I get an error that it can't connect to Microsoft Services and i should check my network settings. I created a local account thinking it must be something during setup. I tried again via the Store app and I receive the same error. I have an internet connection so.... That's not the problem. It is clearly something on Microsoft's end. Creating a new account isn't an option as she is using her current account on our home PC and needs to utilize OneDrive. Is there an image that has Surface RT Update 3?

    I've disconnected the service to it and it's in a pile somewhere. Going to Android. Highly frustrated and disappointed in Microsoft.

    Kb2919355 not in the list.

    That tells us something about the version of your OS.   Unfortunately RT users cannot use winver the way that W10 users now do but there are clues available in PowerShell...  Even $PSVersionTable doesn't give us really current information but I bet mine is more current than yours with that one.  (I'm annoyed because I remember writing a more complete description of this exact same analysis recently but as usual Answers won't let me find it.)  Otherwise, one technique we have is using msinfo32.exe for its Loaded Modules list, sorting by Version and finding something about our maintenance that way.  For example, one module that gets updated frequently is wininet.dll.  Let's compare and see what the results imply.   Here's mine:  (I have to transcribe this because I am writing on W10 and do not have a cross-domain clipboard facility set up.)

    PS C:\windows\system32> (Get-Item wininet.dll).VersionInfo.ProductVersion

    11.00.9600.18538

    In fact, depending on how the refresh you did is packaged, I suppose you could be completely  up-to-date and not need to have a reference to KB2919355.  But that would also depend on whether every module referenced by KB2919355 was superseded by something else and that is something that I don't know.  I also don't know how to query what update brought me that version and hence have to resort to web searches in the Support site to try to find that information.   Here is an unsuccessful attempt at doing that.

    windows rt "11.00.9600.18538" site:support.microsoft.com

    The problem with that will be that now they are not including File Information in the KB articles, just links to .CSV files which contain it.  This makes the lack of the DLL Help Database even more irritating.  I am going to quit this and try to calm down.

    HTH

    the KB2919355 update is not showing in my update log.

    That would happen if you had used the WU troubleshooter.  In order to find out what you have installed you could use this PowerShell pipeline

    Get-HotFix  |  sort  InstalledOn  |  ft  InstalledOn, HotFixId  -AutoSize  -Wrap

    FYI

    For some reason (unless I'm not fully aware) the KB2919355 update is not showing in my update log. I've check the Microsoft website and only found the 64 bit version of the update.

    I have a 32 bit OS and without this update available for my tablet, my existing Microsoft store issues still persist.
