Windows 10: Unable to install Xbox Identity Provider in Microsoft Store - Code: 0x80070057

Acer Predator 17

Windows 10 v1909 build 18363.778


I am unable to install Xbox Identity Provider. It seems to download fine, but when it gets to "Installing..." activity, it simply stops with "Something unexpected happened...Code: 0x80070057." I am trying to get this app onto my PC because I am unable to log in to play Minecraft online. It seems the Identity Provider is required in order to do that.


I have tried all of the resets, clean start-ups, reinstalls, disk scans, etc. commonly found on the Google machine. Nothing works.


Please help. Thx.

:)

Most programs created for earlier versions of Windows will work with this version of Windows, however, some older programs might run poorly. You need to run the

Program Compatibility Troubleshooter or change the compatibility settings on your computer to play games like Age of Empires: Castle Siege.

If you are still unable to download the Xbox Identity Provider, we recommend that you clear Windows Store cache by following the steps below:

• Press Windows + X on your keyboard.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.
• Launch Windows Store and check if there are available updates and install them.

Thank you for the link to the app!

I hadn't been able to find it in the store by searching either for "Xbox" or "Xbox Identity Provider".

Turns out that once it's installed, it fixes the Xbox app's "We can't sign you in right now. Try again later." error. I'd been seeing this error message ever since removing the
Xbox Identity Provider app.

A word on what it seems to do...

• If you run the Xbox Identity Provider app on its own, it doesn't do much and you just see the loading screen.
• However, if you run an app that needs to log in to Xbox Live (e.g. the Xbox
  app or the Solitaire app), and you have a gamertag set up on your Xbox Live profile, then the Xbox Identity Provider app launches and runs in a square popup window in the foreground, logs you in to Xbox Live, then closes.
