Windows 10: Error Code [0x800706d9]. Cannot access sign in and xbox store games.

I have an error that does not allow me to play flight simulator or sign in to my Microsoft store. I have tried enabling the Firewall and storage service as well as reinstalling MS store through powershell and repairing it through settings. Is there anything I can do? Perhaps some service that pertains to sign ins? The error I recieve on Flight Simulator 2020 is "This service has not been started."

Thank you for reading this and I hope you have some troubleshooting ideas!

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.

 

Windows Store or Xbox Live can't sign in. error 0x800706d9. Enable service "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant"

Windows Store or Xbox Live can't sign in. error 0x800706d9. Enable service "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant"

type this up please. lots of people accidentally disable this service and then encounter generic errors when trying to use the windows store app or xbox app. It's a simple fix, but all I see is people talking about troubleshooters and other services.
At least update the other documentation to show that this is also a critical service related to the solution. While you're at it... update your troubleshooter so that it tells the users if they disabled this service, and offer to re-enable it!

Thank you.
