Scenario
So recently I was trying to install something from the Windows 10 store. I clicked the Get button and it asks for me to verify my Microsoft account. I entered my email address in and password for the Microsoft account I had made before. It comes back with an error saying "Oops, something went wrong. Service unavailable" (no error code).
Followed by:
When I try again "later" the same thing appears. This has been going on for about a month so definitely something wrong on my end.
I tried to use another email address, creating a new Microsoft account from that and I get this "Something went wrong, please try again later 0x80190005". I tried to look up this error code but there is not much information out there from google.
Problem
The main problem is not being able to log in to the Microsoft Store. When I goto microsoft.com and log in to my account, it lets me log in without any issues.
What I have tried
So as you can see, I have tried everything I could find out there and I am still unable to download anything from the Microsoft Store. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Also let me know if you need any other information.
So the solution I found is to add a new admin to the computer using CMD (ran as administrator):
net user NAME /add
net localgroup administrators NAME /add
where NAME is the user name to add.
To maintain my original user's name, I created a temporary admin account, logged in, copied my old account files over, deleted the original, then repeated again to a new account with the original's name. This has to be done since you can't rename account names in Windows 10.
To remove an account I did so through "Accounts" under Control Panels.
I then switched to the new admin user and everything worked fine. This seems to be more of a work around but I could not find any other solution out there to work.
