    I cannot sign in to the Xbox App because of Windows Hello


    Hi,I've been having such an abominably hard time trying to sign in to the simple Xbox App but because they forced the Windows Hello, I can't. Before you say anything about turning the Pin off on my computer settings, I use a different Microsoft account on my computer than I do for Xbox and there is not a device that the other microsoft account is used on. How am I supposed to access my account with this loathsome update, and whenever I press set up my account later the same accursed pop-up just appears the instant it's closed. I am so incredibly disappointed in this complete atrocity.Thanks

    :)

  2. 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    Corrupted profile data, an outdated version of the app, and software conflicts that occur when signing in are some of the factors that we have to take into consideration when troubleshooting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.

    Can't sign in to xbox app on windows 10 laptop

    Thank you for the information. Can you tell us if you have another Microsoft accounts associated with your Windows 10? Also, can you tell us if you recently changed your account password? For us to isolate more your concern, we suggest that you sign in your
    Microsoft account online through Xbox.com to make sure that you can access it normally. If so, let's remove the account that you're trying to sign in on the Xbox app by performing the following steps:

    • On your PC, press the Windows key and select the gear icon to access
      Settings page.
    • Go to Accounts.
    • Find the Microsoft account you used to sign in to the Xbox app and select
      Remove
      .
    • Go back to the Xbox app and sign in with the Microsoft account you just removed.

    Do get back to us with the results. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional help.
