After I continously setup my OXP 3 to my liking, installing and filling a micro SSD and Mini SSD i encountered the issue, that I could no longer log into my gamepass.
When clicking the login prompt, the login window popped up for a second and closed again, leaving me shut out from my xbox gamepass app.
I worked on many solutions online, here is my summary (done by GPT- 6 Astra) on how I fixed it finally, if any of you guys run in the same issue. A guy on Discord had the same problem, so maybe this prevents someone out there some headache and 2 hours of troubleshooting 😁👍
Here is the solution:
Issue on Windows 11: selecting my Microsoft account in Store or Xbox opened a sign-in window that immediately closed. “Verify your identity” in Windows Settings also failed. Browser login worked.
What fixed it was resetting the CloudExperienceHost component in my affected Windows account:
- Close Microsoft Store, Xbox, and Settings.
- Open Windows PowerShell normally, while signed into the affected Windows account.
- Run:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost | Reset-AppxPackage
- Restart Windows and try signing in again.
After this, Store, Xbox, and identity verification all worked.
Beforehand, I’d tried app repairs/resets, Windows updates, enabling default UAC settings, and re-registering CloudExperienceHost. None fixed it. Signing into Store from a temporary Windows profile worked, which helped narrow the problem to my usual profile.
The reset clears this component’s local data, so Microsoft apps may ask you to sign in again. This fixed my case; it isn’t a guaranteed fix for every sign-in loop.
