this happened yesterday when I opened the Xbox app and it prompted me to sign in to my Microsoft account I did that and thought nothing off it but when I tried playing a game it just got stuck on the signing in screen with no end I tried other games as well and some gave me a account error prompt. Furthermore, now every time I open the Xbox app it always ask me to sign in again. im on windows 11 updated to the latest version. ive tried redownloading the xbox app and the games i had the error on both didnt work ive made sure that xbox live auth manager, game save and networking services are running and ive checked that my routher is functioning properly. FYI this only happens to xbox not to steam or other game launchers.

Forza Horizon 5 gives an E: error code upon launch, which supposedly is related to cloud save availability, but the game works normally on cloud gaming on both mobile and pc

ive found a solution that has worked:
I opened Powershell and typed:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
make sure u do it witht he xbox pc app open so that it prompts an update then update it and it should be fine
the solution is from this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSupport/comments/1okjarf/welcome_back_screen_and_no_sign_in_on_pc_game_pass/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
