Windows 10: Xbox identity provider

App says it's installed, but wants me to install it again

I recently installed this app to be able to play my favorite game with other people. I tried to open the app and sign in, but was greeted with the blue box saying I should install it on my devices. I followed the instructions and tried to install it on my computer. The download bar said pending and the same bar popped up. I have no idea what to do

:)

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.

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.
