Trouble Signing In After Recent Dashboard Update & Multiple Account Problems Since Signing...

First things first, this will probably just be a bunch of information and will likely be a giant wall of text covering everything I've been experiencing so I'll have a TL;DR below so feel free to skip to the bottom lol. I also understand that the Game Pass Ultimate issues may or may not have any relevancy to my sign-in issues and may need to be taken up elsewhere, but without any ability to discern which is and isn't important information or how my involvement within the preview program may be affecting things I'll include everything I can.

To start from the top, I'm in the Alpha Ring and I've had no end of issues and oddities since officially signing up for Game Pass Ultimate on June 11th on both the Xbox One X and the Xbox 360. I can't say for sure it's the reason but it's one heck of a coincidence that I've had all these issues since the conversion and none prior to it. The last couple of days since signing up I haven't been auto-signed in when turning on the Xbox One via the 'instant sign-in' feature, but it didn't bother me much as it's not hard to do it myself. What has been quite annoying though is that apps such as YouTube & Twitch have seemingly partially removed my account credentials from them & have required me to re-authorize or sign-in again within the apps after using them for the first time since a cold boot. I only say partially since there have been instances where it wanted me to re-authorize or sign-in again and then it effectively refreshed itself and I was in my account on the respective apps; also from a cold boot so it's inconsistent. The worst app offender for me ironically is the Xbox Insider Hub app as I literally have no access to it at the moment. For the first time in my recollection I've been met with a Sign-In screen there and then it hits me with an odd HTTP call error and effectively loops itself at each attempt to sign-in and that's been the case coincidentally since I've started having these problems.

The biggest and most pressing issue at the moment is, as the title states, as of today I haven't been able to reliably sign-in to my account on my Xbox One X. Apparently I received a new update today at 4PM PST shortly before I returned home; OS version 10.0.18362.5031 (19h1_release_xbox_dev_1907.190614-1928) according to the system info. Again, I can't check the Insider Hub to see if that's actually the most recent release or if there are known issues, etc. Upon attempting to log in after the update on my Xbox One X it failed to sign me in again and needed me to use the controller to do so, I went through the usual procedure of signing in only to have it fail and prompted an error stating that "It doesn't look like you're connected to the internet. Please check your connection and try again.", I believe the error code was 0x800704CF. I never lost internet and I had access to it on all other devices. I attempted to sign in about 4 more times to no avail so I then did a soft-reset which failed to do anything and followed that up with a hard-reset & still couldn't log in. After looking to see if there was an update that could be the culprit and checking XBL Services for an outage (there wasn't), I hard-reset it a second time then let it sit on the dashboard after failing to log in over and over again, I managed to finally log in while I was sitting in the Settings screen after checking my network connection yet again. I'm not sure what or why I was finally able to log-in but I hoped it was an odd service glitch, at which point I played what I wanted to and then turned the Xbox off. I attempted to turn my Xbox One X back on a some time ago and I was prompted with the same inability to sign-in with the same hassle of trying to log in again to only have it finally let me log in after an extended period of time. I've had the best luck so far when attempting to sign-in while in the Settings menu, but I couldn't even guess why that might be the case or if it's a false positive. Also worth noting is I've been unable to successfully report a problem via the Xbox One X while this has been happening for some reason so I haven't been able to submit the log-in issue with potentially relevant data. I was also met with the same log-in problems trying a different profile that is on the Xbox.

Now, semi-unrelated to the Xbox Insiders program but the interesting thing and the reason why I mentioned the Xbox 360 is that I've been suffering the same log-in issues there since the day I converted my account to a GPU subscription which is now affecting my account on the Xbox One X. I only happened to noticed the issue on the Xbox 360 because of the recent and sadly last batch (hopefully just until Scarlett) of backwards compatible games released and I wanted to give a couple of them a whirl. I thought I already uploaded all of my past saves to the cloud but I guess I didn't so I jumped on the 360 to do just that only to be met with a rotating series of errors (8007007A, 8007274C, 80072EF3) all of which wouldn't allow me to log-in to my account. After around three days of fiddling with the 360 off and on I was able to finally log-in about two days ago and get all my saves uploaded. I'm still consistently getting errors and issues logging in on the Xbox 360 so it's anything but fixed but worth noting is that on the Xbox One X (when I'm actually logged in) playing a backwards compatible 360 game it logs me in to the emulated 360 without an issue.

All in all, I'm not sure what would be causing the problems as it might stem not from the recent update but something that happened to my account after converting to the GPU sub or the recent update exacerbated the issue... but it could all simply be wild conjecture at this point. I just find it quite odd that I was problem free prior to the conversion and have had the one common denominator of sign-in problems across both consoles and apps since the conversion. For the time being I'll put my Xbox One X's power mode into 'Instant-On' in hopes that a warm boot will be able to circumvent some of the issues.

TL;DR

• I'm in the Alpha Ring but I didn't convert my Xbox Live Gold & Game Pass Memberships to Game Pass Ultimate until June 11th. I converted my account via the Xbox One X with perceivably no issues.
• I've been effectively unable to successfully log-in to my account on the Xbox 360 since I converted to the GPU subscription with errors (8007007A, 8007274C, 80072EF3) aside from two successful log-ins. Still fails to log-in initially. No issues prior to converting to GPU.
• I have 'Instant sign-in' enabled on my Xbox One X and it has failed to be able to sign me in automatically since the conversion to GPU.
• Apps that require an account to use such as YouTube & Twitch have required a re-authorization / sign-in again to use since converting to GPU. The requests take place almost every time the Xbox One X is turned back on & the app is first utilized. The Xbox One X power mode is set to 'energy-saving'.
• I'm unable to use the Xbox Insider Hub app at all as it requires a Sign-in which it isn't capable of processing with an HTTP call error at each attempt. (Somehow managed to successfully report this specific problem via the console)
• I received a new update on the Xbox One X, OS version 10.0.18362.5031 (19h1_release_xbox_dev_1907.190614-1928) on June 17th, afterwards I was rendered unable to log-in to my account until after a soft-reset & multiple hard-resets. I was presented with the error "It doesn't look like you're connected to the internet. Please check your connection and try again.", after attempting to log-in and I believe the error code was 0x800704CF.
• When powering on the console from a cold boot the same log-in problem persists until multiple hard-resets eventually allows me to log-in. I've had some semblance of success when attempting to sign-in while in the Settings menu.
