Windows 10: (FH4 PC) Can't login to XBox Live after clean reinstall [0x80070520]

I just did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 because it felt its structure was being held together with ropes and ducttape.

After a fresh reiteration of Windows it feels butter smooth again.


Reinstalling Forza Horizon 4 again was a pain in the smoink as apparently the Store can't detect older files. In fact, the Store app just decided to wipe the folder the data it was in and started to download those same files again!

After that pain was done I wanted to get back in again but then this error came around saying I am not able to sign into Xbox Live currently and should try again later. Around 24 hours later it still says the same thing.

Also you can press the error code as the window clearly states: "If it still doesn't work, we have a few suggestions which might fix your problem.". But when I press the error code I get to a page which tells me the error code doesn't even exists! Well done, Microsoft...


I can't contact Microsoft because it's the weekends right now and having searched on the web a bit a few other people had this problem (not just in FH4) and Microsoft couldn't fix it. Or at least they didn't finish the topic to show the answer at least.


I can log in here and on the Xbox application on Windows itself, just not on the game. So, what now?

Xbox Live on Win10[64] - Cannot login, code 0x80070520

I just reinstalled Win10[64] from scratch a few days ago (to fix a different issue) and cannot log in using the Microsoft Store or Xbox App, receiving the code 0x80070520.

I have tried the following:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type Services in the search box.
• Once the Services window opens, scroll down and look for Xbox Live Auth Manager, Xbox Live Game Save, and Xbox Live Networking Service.
• You have to repeat the steps on each service. Right-click on each service and click Properties.
• Make sure that the Startup type is set to Automatic.
• If the Service status is stopped, click on Start.
• Click OK to save the settings.

Checked the Date, Time and Daylight Savings settings and made sure they were all on automatic.

1. Click the Start button.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Select Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

4. Select Windows Store Apps under Find and fix other problems.

5. Click Run the troubleshooter.

6. If prompted, click Yes or enter the administrator password.

7. Follow the on-screen instruction.

I have used the "Reset" Button for Xbox Live and Xbox App.

My Xbox version is 39.39.21002.00000

I have gone into the update options and made sure everything is set to auto-update.

Xbox live will not login on Windows 10

Today when I tried to login to my Xbox live game, Age of empires Castle siege, I could not login. Again Tell me the server was down. To check if this is really the case, I tried to login to the Xbox App on Windows 10. It would not login either. Does anyone
know how I can get Xbox to login? I really need to be able to log into Xbox live. I reinstalled Xbox live, but it still would not login. There is either something wrong with Xbox or Xbox on my Windows 10 laptop. Please help me fix this. Thanks.
