Do a Google search if you have access on another device also see this link - it seems a common problem

That's a file exception error I think, means it can't find the file it needs to do the switch, however, I'm not sure and can't remember how to fix. I usually just restart and see how that goes |

Have you tried windows help? I had problems with updating mine as it wouldn't find a thing, not even the start button! A few rests and Microsoft help page did the trick! |

heres another to try
First of check if your Microsoft account is running well or not by visiting status.live.com
Step 2:
Now to reset the proxy settings, open the administrative command prompt window by right clicking on the windows logo
Step 3:
Then input the commands given below one after the other and press enter.
netsh
winhttp
import proxy source=ie
That’s it. Now restart your PC to fix the problem.
if that fails is there any files that you want out of the other account as there is a way to get at them and save them |
