i made a Microsoft account threw windows and used it for Xbox (username: <PII removed>) and Minecraft (username: <PII removed>) using my Gmail. i tried logging in to Xbox on my browser with the same email and it created a new account. the old account is still logged in on windows but when i try and connect with it on any other account i get error 0x80048823 i looked up the error code and took the steps to fix it but it still dose not work.

i don't know how to regain access to my old account.

    Hello Yann CHAIZE,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Before we proceed, may I have a photo of the situation to check for you? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting. Additionally, may I know if the Xbox app is having the same issue?

    I'm waiting for your reply.
