You can try to create a local account without a microsoft account associated with it, and disable authentication at the network level. Try and tell me if it worked.  jdrch

Erick Garcia GodoyThanks, but I'm not sure how that helps. WAC's own UI indicates it should work using the user's existing Microsoft Account. If 2 Windows 10 PCs have the same Microsoft Account that's also an administrator, WAC should connect to one from the other right out of the box (or at least with minor, documented changes on either or both sides). Needing to create a local account or troubleshoot using that kinda defeats the entire purpose.

    jdrch  Smoothly. Do you have any other Microsoft accounts that you can use as a test?

      Erick Garcia Godoy  No. Most users have only 1 Microsoft Account. Mine is the admin and owner of both machines in question. Anyway, see this Twitter thread for some troubleshooting steps Rafael Rivera and I have tried so far, as well as this other TechCommunity thread about the same issue that a Microsoft employee has replied to.
