Windows Store or Xbox Live can't sign in. error 0x800706d9. Enable service "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant"


type this up please. lots of people accidentally disable this service and then encounter generic errors when trying to use the windows store app or xbox app. It's a simple fix, but all I see is people talking about troubleshooters and other services. At least update the other documentation to show that this is also a critical service related to the solution. While you're at it... update your troubleshooter so that it tells the users if they disabled this service, and offer to re-enable it!


Thank you.
