Microsoft Account Login Error Code 0x80048820

Hello, 

since yesterday I can not login into my microsoft account via my windows 10 pc.
In the browser everything works fine. So what is happening exactly:

It started with the microsoft mail and calender app, where I have my outlook and gmail-accounts. Gmail works fine, but the outlook account

popped me a notice about updating my account information. After following the instructions:

1. enter my login-PIN >> 2. enter my outlook password >> 3. here comes the following message:

Now i get two options: click on send feedback or cancel. By clicking cancel the window closes and nothing happens.

After clicking <send feedback> I get redirected to the app-store to install the feedback app.

Now here begins my self-destruction loop - when trying to install the feedback app, the app-store prompts me with the
same login-procedure as for outlook with the result that I can never ever login again.

As this problem persisted, I tried to:

  • update the system to the newest 20H2 build.
  • changed my password several times and logged-out and back in via the browser several times.
  • enabled two-factor ahtentification through the microsoft authentificator app.
  • ran sfc /scannow via admin-cmd, everything looks fine here.
  • disabled my antivirus software (malwarebytes).
  • downgraded to a older windows 10 build.

Nothing worked. Now I am at my wits end and this thread is my last hope.
This is a big issue for me as I have bought apps through the
app-store and xbox-live that I have no access to anymore.

Notice:

  •  The login to OneDrive via windows works fine, even after changing passwords several times.
  •  Access to my mails on my smartphone works fine too. So it's definetly a windows issue.
  • Trying to login after enabling microsoft authentifactor the following happens >> verification time window runs out immediatly after
    entering the password. Even before authentification-prompt pops up on the smartphone.
  • very rarely my system has random freezes and reboots without a warning or bluescreen (probably minor hardware issue)
  • I refreshed windows with a clean installation a few months ago

I too have the same issue.

Come on Microsoft, how long does it take, really?

Maybe get Bill to send over a few $million if you're short of support staff.

I am having the same issue for about a month now. The system keeps asking me about my phone number. I accept the phone number listed that i am still the owner of the number. I, then, get an authentication request and the system moves on. It a little later i will get another request for the same thing on a different email account that i have. It is so weird.
