Starfield only 0x80004005

So today I decided to update my BIOS on my motherboard (added some features, mainly resizable bar since the firmware was October 2021).

Update went smoothly, but afterwards Starfield will not launch, it tries to sign into Live but throws the 0x80004005 error.

Troubleshooting for hours I have tried the following:

Reset Xbox App

MSRESET (multiple times)

Uninstall Xbox and Xbox Live apps, resetting the data for the store and the apps, deleting the appdata relevant to xbox and temp data folders

Regedit clearing folders

Uninstalling and reinstalling Starfield twice

Even going so far as a Windows repair install.

The only thing that has showed any promise is creating a local account on my PC and then installing the Xbox app and running Starfield, and it runs perfectly fine. (logged in with the same credentials as the Microsoft account)

All other games on GamePass work perfectly fine.

Anyone know of a way to clear all the account data for xbox and related stuff and star fresh?

I really don't want to waste a week doing a full wipe and reinstall of my system just to play Starfield...

Definitely tempted to drop gamepass and just buy Starfield on Steam...

Hello,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are unable to launch Starfield and you are getting the error 0x80004005. This error usually means that there is a problem with the game installation or the system update. Here are some steps you can try to fix it:

- Make sure your Windows 10 is up to date and has the latest updates installed. - Run the Windows troubleshooter for apps and games. You can find it in Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Store Apps.

- Check if there are any updates available for Starfield in the Microsoft Store app. If there are, download and install them.

- If the problem persists, you may need to reinstall Starfield. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Starfield, and click on Uninstall. Then, go to the Microsoft Store app, find Starfield, and click on Install.
