This forum is public, users here can only provide steps.
To help narrow down the issue:
- May I know what exact error messages you have when you try to sign in?
- Are you using a personal Microsoft account or a work or school account?
- Also, could you provide the steps you have already taken? This will help me avoid recommending them again.
Thanks!
