Windows 10: Group Policy Blocking Microsoft Account Sing In

I tried to sign into my microsoft account on the MS store and also on other apps like xbox and game bar. Every time I try it says Ï can't sign into a Microsoft account because it is blocked by group policy with the error code 0x800704ec. How do I fix this from happening? I have administrator rights btw.

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.
