Microsoft Outlook won't allow me to sign into my email account.

Microsoft Outlook stated: "Try again later.  We can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."  The user icon was posted with an "x" showing on the figure.  

Can you explain the problem? I can't get in.

Hey there! Nice to meet you!

Based on your description, it could be a temporary browser-related issue. Kindly try to perform the following workarounds in case this works:

  1. Restart your device and router, then try signing in again.
  2. Clearing the cache and cookies of your browser.

To clear your browser cache and cookies in Microsoft Edge, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data and select Ctrl+Shift+Del. You can also type "edge://settings/clearbrowserdata" in your address bar to access this function.

  1. Disabling extensions / going incognito or in-private browsing.

In Microsoft Edge, select Extensions located to the right of your browser address bar, then select Manage Extensions.

Select the toggle next to the extension you want to turn off.

  1. Changing browsers. (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, etc.)
  2. Disconnect from the VPN or Proxy server.

Open Settings and click/tap on the Network & Internet icon.

Click/tap on VPN on the left side, click/tap on the connected VPN (ex: "MPN") on the right side you want to disconnect, and click/tap on the Disconnect button.

When finished, you can close Settings.

  1. Using different devices and network services.

If it doesn't work, you may also follow the Sign-in helper tool through this link: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/i-can-t-sign-in-to-my-microsoft-account-475c9b5c-8c25-49f1-9c2d-c64b7072e735

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,

Darhyl

    "Restarting" the Windows OS fixed the problem--on the first try. Thanks very much.
