  1. I've never had an Xbox, why is windows running Service Host: Xbox Live Auth Manager?


    I started my computer today and it was being very noisy. One process seemed to be caused by Google Chrome and I was able to end it. Next thing I know it's still going and I see a process called Service Host: Xbox Live Auth Manager. I have pasted a screenshot below. Could this be malware or someone hacking into my computer? I've never owned an Xbox. I don't play games on this computer. I have never seen this and not sure why it's running.

    :)

  2. Permanently remove "Xbox Live Auth Manager"

    There is a task running on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine called "Service Host: Xbox Live Auth Manager". I want to permanently remove this component from my system. If I try to end the task, I get the warning that ending it will cause Windows to become "unusable". How can I get rid of this component?

    Cannot Start Xbox Live Auth Manager or login to Xbox

    Sorry, it took me a bit to find another Windows 10 PC. I was able to login to my Xbox account on another PC. The troubleshooter for Windows apps did not fix it. Logging in with another user account also did not fix it.

    I realized I forgot earlier what my exact error was for Xbox app: (0x409) 0x80080005 . I actually removed the Xbox Live Auth Manager in my registry, restarted and the Xbox app gave this exact same error. It seems to be related to the Xbox Live Auth Manager
    service being unable to start.

    I've never had an Xbox, why is windows running Service Host: Xbox Live Auth Manager?

    Cannot Start Xbox Live Auth Manager or login to Xbox

    Xbox says this is a Microsoft issue.

    I cannot login to xbox to play any game of mine on Windows 10. I get the error 0x409 when trying to open the xbox app, whether its the regular or beta app. This is probably because the Xbox live auth manager is not running. However, trying to manually start
    the xbox live auth manager in services.msc gives me the error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.

    It looks like a lot of people online are getting the 0x409 error but I am the first to see them not be able to start xbox live auth manager, which often fixes the problem. Because this is broken though I cannot play any game I have purchased on the Microsoft
    Store.

    Using latest creator's update/everything is updated.
