    Error code 0x800704cf when signing into Microsoft account


    Hello! I have been expirencing an issue where when I sign into one of my Microsoft accounts im given error code 0x800704cf. Im given this error when trying to sign into any Microsoft app installed on my Windows 11 PC. This only happens to one of my accounts which was hacked and stolen for a short time cracked my password and took my Minecraft account. I've reset password since and set up 2FA on the account. I can log into any other accounts on this computer as well as on the web, its just when I have a downloaded Microsoft app it give me an error.

    :)

    Hi PQP. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

    1) You may not be able to apply the fixes until you Exit S Mode -

    S Mode restricts any but Store apps from being installed and is more appropriate to corporate or school PC's and not consumer rigs because of the severe restriction of choice.

    Removing it does not affect the performance of the PC in any way, unless you acquire adware by not watching closely enough when installing freeware that sneaks it in. I would use built-in Defender which always offers best Windows performance with least issues, and is from Microsoft who knows how to protect their OS best. In addition you can install the best free scanners Malwarebyes from Download Malware Removal 2023 | Free Antivirus Scan & Virus Protection Tool and AdwCleaner from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcle... to run periodically or after downloading anything (right click download to Scan with each).

    Exit S Mode following this guide:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/445606...

    If it won't complete it can mean the servers are overloaded so you can try again later, or contact Microsoft.

    Failure can also mean the Store needs repair. I can give you those repairs, or you can Contact Microsoft Support at Contact Us - Microsoft Support. Explain the problem and keep asking for an agent on weekdays. Try to get chat which is reported to work better than phone call back.

    2) Try these fixes for the error until one works:

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

    Error 0x800704cf in microsoft store

    Hi,

    As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest
    that you download and run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Once done, check if the issue persists.
    You can also check if the Store works in another user account. If the issue
    still persists, we suggest to reset the Microsoft Store. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
    • Hit Enter to proceed.

    You may reset the Store a couple of times before checking if the issue persists.

    Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps provided above.
