I just got minecraft for windows 10 yesterday, and i try to log in to collect the items in my starter pack. Every time i click to log in though, there's an error message that pops up saying "Failed to login. We tried to sign you into your microsoft account, but something went wrong." and there's a "close" button at the bottom. I just want a way to sign in so that i can get my stuff. Also, would i be able to sign in with an account that didn't buy the game? Or is it mine now and i can sign in with whatever account? Thank you for your help :))

The best option is to install the xbox game companion app from the Microsoft store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/xbox-console-companion/9wzdncrfjbd8?activetab=pivot:overviewtab  

Also install the xbox games app: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-windows-10

This will give you visibility into any account problems, and are necessary for playing Minecraft Windows 10 Edition.

    For me the only thing that helped was the service-tip.

    Windows-button

    type service

    Open the services

    Start these or put as automatic. I think the most important one is the Xbox Live Game Save, and it might even go with starting that only.

    Hi,

    Excuse me, I couldn't answer before, try the following:

    1.- Clear the store cache

    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-windows-st...

    2.- Reinstall the Microsoft Store

    Press the Windows key + X >> PowerShell (Run as Administrator), copy and paste the command using the mouse button: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$ manifest = (Get-AppxPackage * WindowsStore *). InstallLocation + ' \ AppxManifest.xml '; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $ manifest} "+ Enter, wait for the process to finish, restart the computer.
