Cannot sign-in to Edge with Microsoft Account
Deleted
Like others, I'm unable to sign in with my personal microsoft account on a work computer that's already logged in with a "work" profile. Maybe those who have work profiles through Microsoft can't also have a personal profile signed in? That seems to be the common them from folks on this thread.jlindine dqtiep juliantb Dean Misenhimer Thanks for the details!
Per the Enterprise Identity team: we’d love to look into this further, and it would really help us troubleshoot if you’re open to submitting feedback and diagnostic data. Depending on your comfort level and device permissions, you could securely submit that via one of the following ways:
- Simply send logs via the Office Sign-In and Authentication diagnostics via the download here: http://aka.ms/icesdptool. (It captures relevant AAD/MSA/WAM/NGC info and does a screen recording for you)
- Submit detailed feedback through the browser along with a screen recording, diagnostic data, and attaching a screenshot of your logs under Security Privacy/Windows Authentication
- Follow this process (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4021566/windows-10-send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-feedback-hub-app) and choosing the category "Security and Privacy" and the subcategory of "Windows Authentication.”
Once you do this, we will engage to fix the issue you're running into. However, if submitting any of the above isn’t possible or is outside of your comfort zone, then can you try re-domain joining to fix?
Please let me know if you have any questions! And if you want to be sure the team sees your feedback as quickly as possible, feel free to comment (or send me a private message) about with method you used, so they can keep an eye out.

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeI also cannot sign-in with Microsoft Account while my work account is automatically signed in and syncing.
I have just set BrowserSignin=1 and NonRemovableProfileEnabled=1 in my test environment.
When trying to sign a second profile i select to sign-in with Microsoft Account after a short waiting i get the error 0x800704ec.
dqtiep this error is a rare scenario and the exact description is "A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated." Our experts in this area tell us that this error code could indicate many things, e.g., user jumping from one domain to another, etc. We will discuss internally and get back to you with more questions. Thanks for your patience!
Avi Vaid Not that rare, since im also having this problem.
We do have the same scenario here, but with a different error code:
I would like to know where I can find the log-file for this action, if any?

Avi Vaid Interestingly I see the exact same issue happening. I have 3 computers in my home, 2 personal, one work issued. All on the same wireless network. All upgraded to the new Chromium Edge. My two personal computers are logged into Edge with my Hotmail account and syncing with no issues. My work laptop can log into my Hotmail for email, but won't let Edge login using that credential to sync with my other computers. I see the same error mentioned above.
This has been an issue since I first tried to switch to Edge two weeks ago.
- Got the same issue for weeks. Cannot create a second profile in Edge on my work laptop. No problem to sign in with my work account though. Also no problem to sign in with my private account on my private systems.
