Due to an unexpected error, this account is unable to sign in to your other applications. Don't worry, you will be able to log into this application. You can correct the error by selecting “Settings” > “Accounts” > “Your information.”) this is what I get when I try to log into a new Microsoft account.
Thank you!

On the Emails and accounts, can you remove the existing email before you add the new Microsoft Store email account?
Please try the additional methods below.
**Reset the Microsoft Store cache
Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box,
type wsreset.exe -i
and then select OK.
Note:
A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close, and Microsoft Store will open automatically.
**Check the Microsoft Store Install Service
Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.
Find the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click, If the status is Running, right click it then select Restart
If disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.
**Please try to run SFC and DISM to check for any system errors and corrupted files.

After that, restart your computer
**Re-register and reinstall the Microsoft Store app
Press Windows key + X
Click and Run Windows PowerShell (Admin)
Copy and paste the command below then press Enter.
Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Restart your computer
Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.
