Solved Live id sign in help.
I'm using release preview 64bit. I recently changed my email address associated with windows live and now every time I reboot the computer it tries to sign in with the old one and I have to input the new one to login. Is there anyway to clear that out and enter the new one as default?

Hm, I looked around and didn't see any obvious/easy way to change that. You could try switching to a local account and then back to the live ID sign in.

Already tried that, but still defaulted to my old email address. I just found and deleted the address at login.live.com in my account settings. About to reboot and see if I fixed it.

Odd. Did you type in the new Live ID email address instead of your old one?

Yes I did type the new one logging in. Deleting the old one from live.com fixed it though.
