Try this: Windows key > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features> Xbox > Advanced Options> Reset

Restart your pc afterwards and try again

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

If you are unable to sign in to an Xbox account on your Windows PC, you should be able to fix the problem by starting the application from an administrator account.

According to users, the application needs an administrator account in order to initialize properly.

Also kindly refer to this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix...

Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply

I had only one account and it's administrator. It's my main account.

I did things in the link, but it didn't fix the problem, Sign In windows still not opens.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello RealWheatgerm, try to follow the procedures published below previously in the community.

"First of all, I deleted and uninstalled all the Xbox accessory apps as 'daviderenzi1' said. All the cmd and powershell things.

And then I re-install and reset the Xbox app on Microsoft Store. Still it didn't sign me in.

I found that after erasing all the accessory apps, they are not installed after re-installing Xbox app.

So I downloaded the .reg files from here "Restore Default Services in Windows 10 | Tutorials (tenforums.com)" (I don't know whether it is safe or not to download .reg and install it, but I just wanted to fix this so yeah I did a jump of faith here)

And installed all 4 registries, rebooted AND VOILA! Xbox app signed me in!

I hope this will fix your problem too."

Hi, doesn't work in the same way.

On PC it's a bit more different.

For this you need to sign in with your Microsoft account on both Microsoft store and Xbox app.

Make sure to enable offline permissions inside Microsoft store > settings

After that you need to download first the desired games with your account using the Xbox PC app and the you can sign out and sign in with your brother's account.

(But this doesn't work for all games)
