I have been unable to login for several days now. I have tried to login on many different computers and browsers. Please advise.

    Here's what I get when I click on that link

    https://account.live.com

    We can't find that page

    Make sure the web address is correct, or try using a different link to get to the page you want.

    I get the error when I try to sign into outlook using Internet Explore.

    I can sign in using Chrome Every is ok

    as far as I know I did not make any changes Prior to the Issue

    WINDOWS 10 ISSUE RESOLUTIONs 04-20-16

    04-12-16 Upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586.

    Five (5) updates completed.  But one Update failed.

    1.  MESSAGE:  There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help.


    * HP Enterprise WSD Multi-Function Printer, Other Hardware - Null Fax - HP Officejet 4630 series- Error 0x80070490.

    RESOLUTION:  Uninstall & reinstall HP 4630 Software following HP Troubleshooter’s multiple steps. 

    Additionally

    1. On Windows Update page below CHECK for updates there is an entry:

    "Looking for info on the latest update?"

    Learn more.

    When clicking Learn more the following website was blocked:

    Windows 10 update history

    https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=12&rver=6.1.6206.0&wp=LBI_SSL&wreply=https%3a%2f%2fredir.windows.microsoft.com%2fliveid%3fru%3den-us%252fwindows-10%252fupdate-history-windows-10&lc=1033&id=285275&cbcxt=&mkt=

    In I.E. 11 an Onscreen Message appeared:

    Sign in

    Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later.

    NOTE:  The above “Sign in” message did NOT appear when Microsoft EDGE and Google CHROME are the Default Browser.  Either of those browsers correctly goes to the website Windows 10 update history.

    RESOLUTION:

    NOTE: Beginning In Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11 CANNOT be Uninstalled and Reinstalled, but it can be RESET, the closest thing to REPAIR.

    Open Internet Explorer 11 then Select:

     Settings | Internet Options | Advanced Tab | Selected RESET and DELETE PERSONAL SETTINGS | Click RESET.  (YOU MUST CHECK “Delete personal settings”.  Selecting “Reset” only does not correct issue.) After this RESET process completes, you will need to enter User ID and Password on any screens where they were “saved” earlier. 

    ADDITIONAL INFO:

    For other Issues Users can run SFC (System File Checker) on their own.  Right Click START, select Command Prompt (Admin).  At Prompt, type SFC /scannow (there must be a space before “/”).  This process took about 40 minutes.
