i'm open suggestions on else can try solve problem if has any. if can offer or solution, appreciate it.

hi,

some group policies may cause difficulties in signing in account. can happen if two-step verification enabled on account. isolate case, we'd ask few questions:

  • were there significant changes made on device prior occurring?
  • have tried replicate issue logging in microsoft account?
  • do remember turning on two-step verification feature? if yes, disable or turn off , check if encounter same error. (see article: about two-step verification detailed discussion two-step verification.)

we waiting reply can move forward rectifying concern.
