Visual Studio will not log in

Question

I've been trying to sign in into my Visual Studio 2022 with my subscribtion, but it's just not happening. If I wait a really long time it asks me to which account I want to sign in, then I can input the password, two factor authentication goes trough but nothing happens. The signing in circle is still spinning and if I leave it going for over an hour I get an error:

Provide value on 'System.Windows.Markup.StaticResourceHolder' threw an exception.

I tried reinstalling VS, cleaning the cache restarting my PC. Anything really.

Hi @Matej Cigale , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

How did you sign in your account?  

Please try the following steps:

1. Close all running VS instances.
2. Delete your browser history, cache and cookies.
3. Delete all files of %localappdata%\.Identityservice.
4. Relaunch your Visual Studio and click on the “Help” menu> Send Feedback > Report a Problem… > Sign into your account on Visual Studio Feedback page
5. Go back to Visual Studio and check if you have signed in your account.

 

Sincerely,

Anna
