Authentication error AADSTS50196
Sorry to bump, but I've yet to see any sort of explanation or solution to this problem, despite 1100 views at this site.
The typical error message includes these words:
Message: AADSTS50196: The server terminated an operation because it encountered a client request loop. Please contact your app vendor.
The only 'app' involved in these cases is Edge ...
I may have a partial solution to AADSTS50196, at least it seems to have worked for me. Without being able to access any Microsoft information including account info, I was able to, after many dead ends, to find some account info. Apparently some time in the past I had a Microsoft account and I found that the phone # listed was not the same as the one I used to set up my new computer. I had the option in front of me to delete the old number and enter the correct number. What followed was a long and tedious process that necessitated two password change, several texted codes, and six or eight e-mailed codes. Now I can actually sign into my Microsoft account
Greg-_600 To verbalize the flash of inspiration I had: When the Microsoft system encounters conflicting data, it will reject both because computer systems connote determine which is true and which is not true. I think that this is likely to be the case for those who are chronically plagued by AADSTS50196
