Hello HelloMG,

I understand how frustrating that must be, especially after trying so many things already. I'm an independent advisor here on the forums, here to help you find a solution.

Since this issue seems to be related to authentication with Microsoft services on your Nintendo Switch, I recommend reaching out to Nintendo Support for more detailed assistance. They should be able to guide you through additional troubleshooting steps.

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

I hope it gets resolved soon!

Note: Just a friendly reminder that this is a public forum, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
