I can no longer download apps to my Windows 8x phone or do any updates. Why?

[Windows Central Question]

I can no longer download apps to my windows 8x phone or do any updayes.

I get the message "The Microsoft account service is unavailable right now. Try again later. How can I fix this. I used to be able to download apps. Is this because of windows 10?

The error could mean that the Store is down for maintenance. I would suggest trying after sometime. Also I am not sure what you mean by Windows 10? The HTC 8X was never part of the Insider program.

Same problem here, same phone, searched everywhere that I can think of for answers. I've made sure the date/time are correct. Nothing. ={
