I keep trying to get onto a server but it always says the same thing, "you need to authenticate to Microsoft services. I've tried to sign out and back in but that didn't work. Any ideas?

    Hello William,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community and I'll be glad to assist you today.

    Could you verify your time and region settings on your Windows 11 Operating system?

    1. Click on Settings > Time & Language > Date & time > Sync now.

    (Make sure the time zone and time are set to automatic)

    1. Then go back and select Language & Region > make sure country & regional format is selected correctly.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you further.

    Best regards,

    Gunasekar N

    To fix the authentication problem on Minecraft, try restarting the game launcher, checking your internet connection, or logging out and back into your account. Having atopcpu can also help by ensuring the game runs smoothly and loads faster during the login process.
