Hello,I have a brand new computer running on Windows 11. When I first started using the computer, I was able to sign into my Microsoft account and the Xbox app. However, when trying to launch games through the Xbox App, a grey box would appear and disappear before telling me that I needed to sign in in order to play my games. I'm signed into my Xbox Account, but when I check the Microsoft Store App, I can't sign in anymore. For this one, it also simply opens a grey window that closes immediately and doesn't allow me to sign in. Now even the Xbox App seems to be struggling to sign me in at all View the full article

My computer is dual-booted with both Ubuntu and Windows 11. More often than not, when I switch from Ubuntu to Windows, the system time is 6 hours ahead.
