Recently, many players are reporting that they are experiencing Microsoft account login or sign-in issues in FH5. Because of this issue, many players feel annoyed as they are not able to make their purchases instantly. Thankfully, we have come across a few possible solutions to get it fixed.
How to Fix Forza Horizon 5 Microsoft Account Login / Sign In Issue
According to several reports, this particular issue happens when a player tries to make a purchase. Furthermore, it happens on both Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass. If you are facing the same issue, try out the following a few potential workarounds to resolve the issue.
1. First of all, it is very important to note that your Microsoft account and Xbox app account – should be the same. That means you need to sign in on both of these platforms using the same account.
2. Secondly, try to reboot your game as well as your computer and then check if the issue persists.
3. Next, it is important to note that the maximum number of linked devices on a Microsoft account is 10. So, if you have linked more than 10 accounts, you might experience login or sign-in issues. So, simply remove a few inactive devices on Microsoft and then try again.
4. If that doesn’t work too, try to delete your XBL login credentials from the Credential Manager app on your Windows computer. For this, go to the Windows Credential tab >> Go to the Generic Credentials part, scroll down and find out the “Xbl|DeviceDey” line. Here you need to remove it and then make sure to reboot your PC.
5. If nothing works, the last thing you need to do is to restart all of the following services on your PC. For this:
– Firstly, open up the Run dialog box by pressing the Win + R key.
– Then type services.msc, press Enter, and open up Services.
– Search for the following stated services one by one and double click on it and open up “Properties” >> Set Startup Type to “Automatic” and then hit “Apply”. Next, set “Service Type” to “Start” and lastly click on “Apply or Ok”.
