0x80004005 Unspecified Error.

Xen Yi 0

I stepped across this Error when trying to launch My Minecraft Launcher. And when I try to sign in thru the Xbox it gives me error "We couldn't sign you in to XBOX LIVE"
"Sorry, something went wrong. Try again in a while. (0x80004005)"

I tried those window + r, services.msc and make those xbox services into Automatic and including

ipconfig /flushdns and etc. Nothing works
The error prevents me from signing into XBOX live, Microsoft Store and everything.
I also installed the other kind of minecraft Launcher (Modrinth) also error but instead of (0x80004005)

it says that "Xbox services rejected the first sign-in response. This is most often caused by your system clock or time zone being out of sync."
But I've sync the timezone so many times still no fix.
Any solution? I've been stuck like this for the whole day. It's like anything but Xbox

Hello Xen Yi,

This may not have been a local Windows or Minecraft problem. The Flight Simulator forum reported an Xbox sign-in incident with the same 0x80004005 error on September 2. An update at 14:50 UTC stated that reports indicated the issue had been resolved.

Please restart the Xbox app or your PC and try signing in again before resetting or reinstalling anything.

If the error continues, please confirm whether Xbox, Microsoft Store, and Minecraft are all still affected.

Since the error is affecting Xbox, Microsoft Store, and Minecraft at the same time, it sounds more like a Windows/Microsoft account component issue than a Minecraft problem.

You should try these next:

Make sure Windows and Microsoft Store are fully updated, then restart.
Run wsreset.exe from Win + R to reset the Microsoft Store cache.
Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Xbox and Microsoft Store, then try Advanced options > Repair and Reset.
Make sure Date & time > Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are enabled, then click Sync now.

If it still fails, check whether you can sign into your Microsoft account normally through a browser. That can help determine if the problem is with the account itself or the Windows Xbox/Store services.
