certainly appears to be intentional. they could just let us roll back the update...

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.

2017-10-06T09:40:35+00:00 Hi,
Our engineers are working to fix this Windows 8.1 bug as one of their top priorities. As of the moment, we're still waiting for the release date of the bug fix, so you'll have to continue using a local account in the meantime if your computer can't be upgraded to Windows 10.
We'll post an update here once the bug fix is available.

When you say "waiting for a release date" -
should we expect the bug fix to be rolled out immediately, by itself, once it becomes available?
Or, should we expect the bug fix roll out to be delayed, as part of a larger update release?
I'm just trying to understand if we're talking about days, weeks, or months. It's important to me right now because my whole company is on windows 8 with the exception of 3 machines. Many of which are really struggling, so the impact serious.
Not looking for exact dates by any means, but a ballpark would give us a much better handle on how to move forward.
