Even when there’s no issue with your Microsoft Credentials, you might come across this error due to corrupted cache data within Microsoft and its applications. Clearing these cache files will typically resolve the error.
1. Delete Microsoft and Application Cache Folders
To begin, let’s delete the Microsoft Cache folders holding user-related data, such as credentials, account details, and frequently accessed information. If this cache data becomes corrupted, it might lead to unexpected application behavior. Thus, we’ll clear both Microsoft’s cache and the application’s cache.
2. Clear Microsoft Account Credentials
Given that the error is linked to credential issues, we can attempt to resolve this by removing the Microsoft credentials using the Credential Manager.
3. Perform a Clean Boot
A clean boot is a mode in Windows where only essential system programs and services are allowed to start up, which can help diagnose conflicts with third-party applications or services.
4. Reinstall the Application
If no other solutions have been effective, consider reinstalling the application. This can address issues with the application’s files that might be causing the error. The issue should now be resolved. If reinstalling the application does not resolve the issue, you may need to reset Windows or use a system restore utility to revert to an earlier state where the error was not present. Moreover, ensure your operating system is up to date. Additionally, consider resetting the Microsoft Store before proceeding to reset Windows.
