    Windows Live Log in with Pocketmags


    I have Pocketmags on my laptop running Windows 10. Up until a few weeks ago, there was no problem. Recently, after a Windows update I think, I cannot access Pocketmags from the app as it tells me to sign in to Windows Live Login - it is needed for the app. I understand this term is the same as Microsoft Account these days.


    Whatever the case, the dialog box telling me to sign in with Windows Live Login will not allow me to enter any information and just closes and reopens all the time. I cannot even remove the dialog box from my screen unless I close down the laptop. I tried installing Pocketmags via the Microsoft Store onto my PC. Same problem - won't launch as the dialog box says to sign in to Windows Live login. Won't allow any input of information and just repeats itself until I close the PC down. By the way, I was already in my Microsoft Account. Why can't I launch Pocketmags using the app? And what's the point of saying I have to sign into Windows Live Login but won't allow any input of information or the fact that I was in my Microsoft Account anyway?

    :)

  2. PocketMags App

    Hi, my PocketMags App asks me for a Windows Live login on start-up? This won't go away (I have not had a Windows Live log in for years), and the App then freezes and won't shut down. I have to use Task Manager to shut it down. PocketMags have been no help
    at all and claim their system works OK. The App very occasionally works if I start it as soon as the computer has booted, and also worked Ok after the last Windows update a few days ago, but only until I shut down and now it is asking for Windows Live log
    in again.

    Any suggestions?

  3. Pocketmags App

    Don, most of those purchases are stored in MS Store Hub (three dots at top right of Store app) > My Library. Go there and see if there is a button similar to Install that will load them into your App. If not let me know.

    But when I search the MS Store for Steam Railways pocketmag it doesn't show up. Is it possible you bought it from Pocketmag and not MS since you said you see it in your Pocketmag account? If so then it shows in Step 4 of the tutorial from Pocketmag I provided
    you in my first post how to locate your Pocketmag library in the app.

    Pocketmags App

    Don -

    It shows in Steps 4 and 5 in this tutorial I first gave you how to access and read your Pocketmag purchases:

    How digital magazines work on Windows apps

    Microsoft only sells the app and a free bonus magazine, not the magazines themselves which are purchased from Pocketmags and in the app.

    I hope this makes it clearer.
