My computer has just been cleaned off and had a new hard drive replacement. Whenever I try to add a Microsoft account to log on to this cleaned laptop, it just says to check network problems. I have done this multiple times, with the troubleshooter saying nothing is wrong. I don't know what to do.

I have much the same problem - and I've been waiting for the past two weeks for a fix.
It's a Freudian slip lol
I think 'hate' should read 'haste', but then I could be wrong...
Hi Andre,
The release date of the bug fix has yet to be announced. Our engineers are working with the utmost haste so that our customers can connect to their Microsoft accounts again on Windows 8.1, and as soon as the fix is released, we'll update this thread to let you know.
Regards.
