Yes I know it was stupid and I'm not going to justify it I was trying to clean out all the temporary files left over taking up space on my 10 year old computer (temp or not they add up) and I accidentally deleted something related to Microsoft. I was hoping it would just recognize those files didn't exist and since they like to reinstall programs without my knowledge they would reinstall them but it didn't.

I can't sign into the Xbox app as a result and can't login to call of duty Minecraft or anything that runs through the Microsoft store.

Yes i already looked in my recycling bin but I couldn't find the files.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming I will probably have to uninstall stuff and re install to get them working I already did this for the Xbox app and it didn't work.

I don't know how to close the post so if a person sees this maybe they are having the same problem

I fixed it by going into my computer settings and noticed I wasn't signed in there I signed in and it forced a reboot then everything worked.
