Windows 10: I cannot log in to either Microsoft store or my Xbox app, a small grey window named "sign...

I have bought a new computer and want to get onto my Xbox account so I can use the game pass. however whenever I try to log in it just comes up with a separate small window with the tab title of "sign in" with no option of entering my email or password or anything and then it closes after around 2 seconds. It does the exact same on both Microsoft store and Xbox.I have tried:-uninstalling the Xbox app-using the "reset" and "repair" tool from apps and features on both Microsoft store and Xbox-signing in through the browser for Xbox and Microsoft, I can log in to my google chrome and edge however

Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."

Windows 10 Xbox App Sign in error (0x409) 0x80070005

Hi,

Corrupted profile data, an outdated version of the app, and software conflicts that occur when signing in are some of the factors that we have to take into consideration when troubleshooting issues with signing in to the Xbox app on Windows 10. Let's isolate
your concern by answering the following questions:

• Have you made any changes to your device or to your Xbox account before encountering this issue?
• Are you using the same Microsoft account to sign in to the Xbox app and your Windows 10 PC?
• Are you using an administrator user profile?
• Have you tried signing in to other built-in Windows 10 apps like the Store app to check if the same issue occurs?

Meanwhile, we suggest signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user data. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the
  Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
• Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select
  Switch account.
• Sign in with an account other than the one you were using.
• Sign in to the Xbox app and check if the same issue occurs.
