    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    May I please know the exact error message you receive when you sign in with your Microsoft account?

    https://account.microsoft.com/

    Open the link in an incognito tab and sign in.

    Remote Assistance can be used to let a trusted person help with PC issues, but it does not bypass Outlook.com or PWA email sign-in. First resolve the sign-in problem, then, if needed, enable Remote Assistance so a trusted helper can view or control the PC to assist.

    To enable and use Windows Remote Assistance on Windows 10/11:

    1. Enable Remote Assistance on the PC
      1. Press the Windows key, or in the search box on the taskbar type remote assistance.
      2. Select Allow Remote Assistance invitations to be sent from this computer from the results.
      3. On the Remote tab, check Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer.
      4. Select OK.
    2. Ask someone to help remotely
      1. Press the Windows key, or in the search box on the taskbar type remote assistance.
      2. Select Invite someone to connect to your PC and help you, or offer to help someone else.
      3. Select Invite someone you trust to help you.
      4. Choose one of the options:
        • If Remote Assistance has never been used before, select Use Easy Connect.
        • If it has been used before, select the helper’s contact name; or select Invite someone to help you to invite a new helper.
      5. Follow the on-screen instructions to send the invitation and share the connection details with the helper.
    3. Make sure Remote Assistance is allowed through the firewall (if needed) In managed or locked-down environments, Remote Assistance may be blocked by policy or firewall. An admin can enable it using Windows Firewall rules, for example with netsh as described in the Remote Assistance component documentation, or via the SolicitedRemoteAssistance policy in MDM/Group Policy to allow “Ask for help” Remote Assistance.

    If sign-in to Outlook.com PWA is still failing after that, a helper connected via Remote Assistance can then see the error messages directly and walk through account recovery or browser troubleshooting steps on the screen.

    For quick remote help without configuring classic Remote Assistance, Quick Assist is also available on Windows 10/11 and can be used to give or receive remote help.
