Unable to sign in to XBox (Steam version on a PC )

Changed my Live password this morning and now unable to log in - stuck at that ‘XBox - Let’s get you signed in’ box and cannot progress.
Been through the list below, and executed them all as well as a few other things (disabled firewall etc), and also submitted a ZenDesk report. Any thoughts please?

Update: If in doubt, use a very large hammer…
…moved all files into temp folder and re-ran on Steam; first boot of MSFS - not happy (cannot find files); second boot it started to re-install the core files; once done I then got the option to log into XBox (hurrah!?) - did so; quit it; moved all files back; restarted and went through the ‘Accept’ (with speech); now re-installed 17GB of updates - probably the standard edition stuff I’d disabled (airliners etc) - I can live with that.
I’ll leave this here for anyone else that has a similar problem

Grrrrrrrr - I changed my Live password again and voila! it’s gone and done the same thing - I cannot get past this:

Another Zendesk report submitted but this is ridiculous - I don’t want bodge it like I did last time only then to have to download an extra 17GB just to have to uninstall it again, and lose my logbook too (though that’s near empty after the last time) - any thoughts please?
Ah-ha! it seems that Alt+Enter (simply changes it to windowed?) allowed me to pick an account/sign in, but now it’s telling me that I’ve not got enough SSD space as I guess it’s simply reset the whole game to default - double grrr.
I hope I don’t have to go through this every time I change my e-mail password (ie ‘Live’)

Confirmed. Alt+Enter to take it out of full screen allowed me to click sign-in.

You are a genious, thank you, i was about to throw my computer out of the window from the 4th floor after 2 days of struggle trying to log into the sim, can’t understand how microsoft can take every simple thing as logging into an applicationand and make it almost impossible.
