Had you fixed your issue?
If yes - could you let me know how?
I have exactly same issue and I had tried to use other browsers - this doesn't helps.
At the same time all other sites are working fine - only live.com not responding.
Also in Skype, which I believe uses same authentication service, my account appears like logged in, but nothing works, I can't contact anyone and anyone see me as connected...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, I tested it and it did worked with VPN, which led me to conclusion that the root cause is 100% external.
After that I was able to fix my issue - looks like it has been caused by DNS of my Internet provider.
Change to Google/CloudFlare DNS servers (8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1) on Network connection properties fixed it.
May be you should try it too instead of VPN use, which is much more simple.
