Error Code 0x80070520 Signing In

freeone3000 · Mar 14, 2019

Signing into my current account, I get error code 0x80070520 when signing into the Xbox app on windows 10, or into Forza Horizon 3. Logging out and logging back in does not affect this. Uninstalling Forza Horizon 3, or Xbox, does not affect this. I do
not own an Xbox, but would like to play games I purchased on my Microsoft account. How do I fix this error?

Hi Diego

I'm experiencing quite the same issues as PeaceMG over last 6 months, but the error code is 0x80070520 in my case.

Once I log in to the Xbox Live App on my PC and hit the "Let's play" button, it is followed by
"We can't sign in you right now. Try again later. 0x80070520" error message.

I also followed recommendations as mentioned by PeaceMG as well as yours (clean boot) without any success.

While I attempt to log in via web portals, I face no issues, but the Xbox App simply won't let me use (play) games, I paid for.

Thanks for any hints in advance
