  1. Need help: Cannot sign into Microsoft account on laptop


    I've been trying to buy Forza Horizon 4 from the Microsoft store, and it either says there's something wrong on their end, or gives the error message 0x800704cf. I've tried many different things off the internet but nothing's helped. When I do a Network troubleshoot, I get this error message "The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 80, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer." After this, I created rules for port 80 on my laptop, and on my router which didn't do anything. I've also used two different Wifi networks 30 minutes away from each other so I could rule that out.

    Note that I was signed into my Microsoft account when all this first happened and then I saw a suggestion to switch to a local account, and now I can't log back into my Microsoft account on my laptop, or log into it still on the Microsoft Store.

    I checked on my brother's computer, and he can log in and purchase anything from the store with no issues.

    I'm really tired of this and it's been a few hours of headache trying to get it to work, so please let me know if you know how to fix it.

    :)

  2. sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
