how to fix Error Something went wrong. [4vt9f]

Hello Stephen Sturges

Which Microsoft product or service are you using when it appears? Are you on Window or Mac? What exact action are you doing when the error shows up (signing in, opening a file, syncing, installing, etc.)?

If possible, please also share a screenshot of the full error message?

Answering these questions can help me better understand the issuer you are facing

I hope to hear update from you soon; I'll be happy to help.

The error code I got was 4vt9f which I have since discovered is a known Microsoft Office activation and sign-in error. It typically occurs in apps like Outlook, Word, or Excel when local identity caches or credentials become corrupted, or when the sign-in assistant service stops responding. As I have both a student and personal identity's, Outlook got confused on activation, so I cleared the corrupted Identity caches**,** as again I have discovered corrupted login tokens are the most frequent cause of this error. As one of my identity's is tied to an institutional login, Windows account conflicts can trigger this error, so I also logged out completely of all accounts and then completely disconnected and reconnected my University accounts. Having done this I was then able to login to both accounts and all worked fine.

Thanks for your time here, if I hadn't found a fix no doubt we would be talking, Regards Steve
