My Microsoft for Startups account loads successfully, but I cannot complete onboarding or contact support.

Issues:

  • “Verify with LinkedIn” returns HTTP 400
  • Azure Portal → Directories + subscriptions shows “No directories found”
  • Help + Support fails with AADSTS16000 saying my live.com identity does not exist in tenant “Microsoft Services”
  • The same issue occurs in Incognito using the same Microsoft account
  • aka.ms/startuphelp-mfs-portal requires sign-in and redirects me back to the same broken Microsoft for Startups Preview/Azure Portal experience

Please escalate this as an account/tenant provisioning issue and repair the Azure/Entra directory associated with my existing Microsoft for Startups registration.
