    Windows 8 phone store error Microsoft Account Services unavailable at the moment, try again later

    I found what the problem is. Do all these steps to see if it will work:

    • change automatic time/date off and make sure the time/date is correct
    • delete all your added accounts except your Microsoft account. i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.
    • re-enter your password for your Microsoft account and save.
    • re-start your phone. I said RESTART, not reset!!
    • when phone is restarted, you should be able to download again. after it starts working, re-add all your additional accounts. i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
    I think the reason why is that I changed my Twitter pw but I didn't update it on my phone. It was still using my old pw and syncing successfully. I had to fix that so it wouldn't affect the Microsoft store downloads anymore.

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
