My Microsoft Account Wasn’t Changed To an administrator Account
^^ Refer: https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-your-microsoft-account-wasnt-changed-to-a-local-account.
The trouble-shooter reports “Cannot connect to the sync service: there might be an Internet connection problem, or the service may not be available”, it then advises that it has fixed three problems. If I run the trouble-shooter again, it does exactly the same again – so I am not sure that it has made any changes!
^^ Try this: Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users. Remove accounts listed there. Sign out and then login back. See if this fix the issue. Also refer: https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-cant-connect-to-the-sync-service.
