People app can't add Twitter, Facebook adds and other fine

Hello

I'm at my wit's end, and I hope that someone in the Windows 8 community can help me.  Here's the context:

I already had my application of people connected with my Facebook accounts and Twitter on my old account Live.  I created a new account to Outlook.com, proceeded to add it as a user on my PC under Windows 8 and then registered in so that I could connect my Facebook and Twitter accounts for people App.  Immediately, the connection Twitter - after clicking "Allow application" - produces an error message "Unable to connect to service" on Windows 8, but on the list of allowed applications, Windows 8 Twitter is listed.
Facebook and others are very well connected.
I have tried several things to get Twitter to connect, including:

-Deletion of all my apps connected both my old account Live AND my new Outlook.com account and then add just my while Outlook.com account that logged on to Windows.
-Repair of the MetroUI
-Uninstalling and then re-installing People, mail, calendar, etc apps.
-Back to zero (not just refreshing) my installation of Windows 8
... and nothing seems to work.  I keep trying to add my Twitter account without success - I get prompt approval, connected to Twitter, click "allow" and then redirected to an error message "Unable to connect to the service" Windows 8 - but Twitter shows that approval has been granted.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this problem?  Everything that I might be able to do to solve this problem?  It is a new installation of Windows 8 Pro with NO other apps installed.
Thank you very much

I just want to close the loop on that and let people know a workaround on how I managed to solve this problem.  First of all, until I do it, I just want to thank Microsoft Support to work with me on this subject for more than three hours on the phone before concluding that the problem was entirely at the end of Twitter.  In short, it is a known problem with a small subset of Twitter accounts and only Twitter can really solve this solution in "resetting" your account.

Second, it must be clear that the problem is corrupt the credentials of the API from your Twitter account, which cannot be interpreted by the shell of Microsoft Services.
I corrected it as follows:
1 has created a new Twitter account.
2 changed my Twitter handle on my old Twitter account to a placeholder.
3. to change the name on my new Twitter account to the previous name, which was my old Twitter account.
4 connected the new Twitter account to my Microsoft Services.
5. related former Twitter account, on behalf of the placeholder, Microsoft Services.
6 unplug the two Twitter accounts.
7 rename the new Twitter account to another name, that you don't care, in order to free the name that you care.
8 retrieve the former name of Twitter (original) with your original Twitter account.
9. connect the original Twitter account to the Microsoft Services.
And in fact.  This approach above worked for me; I don't know if the reset user name changes or refresh the Twitter API key assigned to an individual account, but I was finally able to connect the accounts after that I had made the change of name.
Good luck!
