Windows 10: 0x80070520 We couldnt sign you in to xbox live.

So it's been a long time since i've used xbox, but i wanted to play sea of thieves, which i had bought and played a lot around when it came out.

However, i went to play and was told i cannot sign in. When i open the Xbox app, it says:

"We couldnt sign you in to xbox live.
We cant sign you in to xbox live right now. Try again in a while. If that doesnt work, we have a few ideas that might help fix the problem."

And i am given the error code of: 0x80070520

Clicking on that code, or searching on xbox support, has absolutely no information at all. Look around online has suggested a few things, but none of them have worked, including running a troubleshooter on windows store, clearing the windows store cache, etc.

However, i can login to my account fine on the website, as well as on my phone. I can also login to my secondary account on those AND my pc. But i cannot login to my primary account on my PC.

Is there anything i can possibly do to try and fix this issue? A few have suggested reinstalling W10, but i have so many programs on here it would take me at least 2 days to find, re-download and re-register them all, all for the sake of a few games...

:)

Xbox Live on Win10[64] - Cannot login, code 0x80070520

I just reinstalled Win10[64] from scratch a few days ago (to fix a different issue) and cannot log in using the Microsoft Store or Xbox App, receiving the code 0x80070520.

I have tried the following:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type Services in the search box.
• Once the Services window opens, scroll down and look for Xbox Live Auth Manager, Xbox Live Game Save, and Xbox Live Networking Service.
• You have to repeat the steps on each service. Right-click on each service and click Properties.
• Make sure that the Startup type is set to Automatic.
• If the Service status is stopped, click on Start.
• Click OK to save the settings.

Checked the Date, Time and Daylight Savings settings and made sure they were all on automatic.

1. Click the Start button.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Select Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

4. Select Windows Store Apps under Find and fix other problems.

5. Click Run the troubleshooter.

6. If prompted, click Yes or enter the administrator password.

7. Follow the on-screen instruction.

I have used the "Reset" Button for Xbox Live and Xbox App.

My Xbox version is 39.39.21002.00000

I have gone into the update options and made sure everything is set to auto-update.

 

Error code 0x80070520 when signing into Store and/or XBox Live games


Following various problems with Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Microsoft Ultimate Word Games I performed a clean install of Windows 10 Pro X64.

For a while everything worked well and then I started getting error code 0x80070520 when trying to sign into the store or the games.

So I performed another clean install but the problems persist.

I can sign into my Microsoft account, Outlook, Xbox.com, and live.xbox.com from my browser, and I can sign in from an Xbox with that account.

But it seems that the interface from Windows 10 has problems.
