Hello Microsoft team, I will explain the problem as much as I can. So I downloaded both types of Minecraft (Minecraft Java and Windows 10) and my java edition works smoothly, it's my Windows 10 Minecraft that is not letting me sign in for some reason. I signed into my Minecraft.net account for Java and yet everytime I try to sign into Minecraft: Windows 10, it keeps me stuck at "Signing into Microsoft Account" screen. I wondered, why? Why can I not sign into my Microsoft Account for Minecraft: Windows 10?

I fixed mine by bringing up the Microsoft Game Bar as soon as I opened the game, and signed into Xbox Live through that by clicking on settings and then accounts. After I signed into the game bar, it let me sign into the game.

    Excellent question.

    You will lose all of your worlds, so be careful and export those you care about to somewhere safe first.

    I had a this problem where it wouldn't let me sign into my Microsoft account. I saw your comment and I did everything you said. It didn't work at first but while I was playing as a default it logged me in. I went out and all my worlds and progress was gone... YEARS AND YEARS OF PROGRESS ARE GONE! Is there any way I can get my worlds back???? I'm so mad right now.
