I had to change to another account also enabled for Insider builds, but I ended up with a client that is stuck at this status when selecting "Windows InsiderProgram":
Linking an account in this page is broken! As a workaround run "Command Prompt" as admin and execute: "REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Account /va /f".
The BIG issue is that this suggestion have absolutely NO effect!

Thank you for your suggestions.
I have tried to run dism /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:OneCoreUAP.OneSync~~~~0.0.1.0 and REG DELETE..., with a reboot in between, but unfortunately this does not resolved the issue.
I'm still not able to regain control and link to my Insider account.

Did you resolve this? I have exactly the same issue on a PC installed from 17 iso.

I finally managed to fix this by creating an ISO file from another pc with Insider build 17040 install.
Case closed.

The original suggestion fixed the problem for me as well - the dism command didn't work though, threw an error message.

The trick is to run the command prompt as an "admin" and then typing REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Account /va /f and entering it, this solves the problem.

- At Start, type ‘command prompt’, a Best Match will be Command Prompt app. Right-click on the Command Prompt app, select ‘Run as administrator’.
- Select ‘Yes’ to allow the app to make changes to your device
- At the command prompt enter the following: dism /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:OneCoreUAP.OneSync~~~~0.0.1.0
- Press Enter. The reinstall will start progress. If you aren’t seeing progress, you can press Enter again.
- Once the reinstall is complete, you will be prompted to restart your device. If not prompted, you will need to restart the device yourself. then try with the "power shell" REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Account /va /f (only f not f")
