Problem
- When signing in on the Steam version of Halo Infinite, the Microsoft sign-in window becomes stuck in a loop or freezes. The Halo Infinite menu behind the sign-in window does not freeze when this issue occurs but cannot be interacted with.
- This can be caused by accidentally entering incorrect account information, causing the sign-in window to freeze or its buttons not responding. Halo Infinite on the Xbox app or Microsoft Store app does not experience this issue.
Possible workaround 1: Delete browser cookies and cache in Steam settings
- Open the Steam app
- Select Steam and select Settings
- Go to Web Browser
- Select Delete Web browser cache
- Select Ok to delete all files in the built-in web browser cache
- Select Delete all browser cookies
- Select Ok to clear all Steam browser cookie data
- Launch Halo Infinite and check to see if the sign-in process has started from the beginning.
Possible workaround 2: Remove Halo Infinite sign in credentials
- In the Windows Search bar, enter "Credential Manager", and select Credential Manager to open it.
- Select Windows Credentials.
- Scroll down to the section labeled Generic Credentials.
- For every item that has "Xbl|2043073184" in the title:
- Click on the item to expand it
- Select Remove
- Confirm you wish to delete that item
- Launch Halo Infinite and check to see if the sign-in process has started from the beginning.
- Note: This may sign you out of most or all Xbox network sign-ins on your PC.
