    Windows update broke Xbox live


    I have win10 with latest updates. KB 4598242 on Jan 19 appears to have broken Xbox live app. I cannot sign into my account. I can sign on the website, but when I attempt to sign on from inside games on my PC I get error message. "file cannot be found".

    Instructions tell me to delete my profile from windows to fix this, but if I do that all my personal data will be deleted - not gonna happen.

    Deleted the games, xbox live and updated to newest versions of all with no luck.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    There seemed to be a suggestion earlier that it was a Windows Update that broke it in the first place. Have you run Windows Update since you re-installed? If I could find the update that breaks it, maybe I could just uninstall that...

    Constant disconnections to Xbox Live

    Having the same issue after update. Seems update broke Xbox Live. I was trying to download a DLC from there and it had only progressed 1% in like 2 hours, and Xbox Live was disconnected again. Didn't have this problem before the latest updates.
