Go to the Windows Credential tab > Go to the Generic Credentials section, scroll all the way down until you see the “Xbl|DeviceKey” line. Make sure to simply remove this. Once done, just reboot your PC to apply changes immediately.

5. Last but not least, you can try starting all of the following services on your Windows PC to check whether the problem is still bothering you or not. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box > Type services.msc and hit Enter to open Services.
