Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled

The pop-up (see below) just appeared between yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday).

Apart from the fact that there was nothing to 'see below', thanks for sharing. You're in a unique position to be able to pinpoint a possible trigger for this new problem that's affecting more and more users. Can you conduct a search of your computer to find files that changed (Date modified) between Friday and Saturday? I've no idea what we're looking for, but it could be security software like anti-virus, anti-spam or special stuff like Trusteer Rapport, updates to device drivers or any other program ...

PS I changed the startup type to automatic - delayed start and that seems to have stopped the pop-up

That's good to know. It means that the conflict is happening early in the boot process. Since the WLIDSVC will only be needed once a program needs authentication, it's not imperative that it starts at boot time - it's quite soon enough after Windows has loaded fully.

Another intriguing factor is that most of those affected (there aren't many) seem to be outside the US, in France, Oz and Denmark, for example (assuming that the East Coast of AU isn't somewhere in Austria). Given a couple of sysinfo logs and product reg key values, it should be possible to identify the rogue software very quickly.

Thanks for the message and help,

Yes, the link is my hotmail account page, I can see my emails, nothing for the issues,

I tried to go to option to configure the account, but nothing is associated to this issue,

Thanks again for helping,

Hi Souris,

Thank you for your reply. Before we ask for logs, we would like to verify if you've tried accessing this link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689 ? This may help you resolve your issue. The link will redirect you to account.live.com and you might need to change or adjust settings on your account.

@Qlder4eva,

Thank you for the information. We would like to ask if you've tried the troubleshooting steps provided in this thread? And also, can you confirm if the issue also occur when you use Windows Live Mail since you've mentioned that you are accessing your account Microsoft Outlook 2013 .

Regards.

According to the error message, it seems something else to disable it, I am looking something other program if it is possible,

The thread does not seem the person who had same issue resolved the issue after re install the Windows Essential. Are  there any event viewer or Windows log or registry can check which program disable it.

Do you mean that once uninstall Windows Essential then Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, Writer and Windows Live mail will not work any more?

Thanks again for helping,

Souris,

Dear Cesar

The only part I might use on a regular basis is the Photo Gallery. And many months ago the Movie Maker, apart from these this is the extent of my (known) involvement in MS Live Essentials. I access my Hotmail account via MS Outlook 2013 (on the desktop) . I have an MS Office 365 subscription, I also make use of OneDrive.

The pop-up (see below) just appeared between yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday). I am on the East Coast of AU. BTW the LinkId does not exist

regards

Andrew
