I don't know if you guys have this issue, but I find that I can't get to Microsoft websites maybe 25% of the time.
It seems to be caused by my Microsoft Account.

Right now (1/26/2016 1:23 PM Central Time)...
microsoft.com
forwards to https://login.live.com/blehblehbleh
I get this error...

Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later.

windows.com, windowsphone.com, and windows.microsoft.com
I get this error...
We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.
The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available.
See search results below

I can get to account.microsoft.com and dev.windows.com.

I assume that, if I wasn't logged into my Microsoft Account, it wouldn't be an issue.
This has been an issue, since the new Windows 10 website integration.

I just jumped over to Internet Explorer (not signed in) and I was able to get to all those websites.
Currently, I'm not able to get to the websites (signed in), with Firefox.
Maybe it's account-dependent.
Maybe it's browser-dependent.

It must not computer-dependent or browser-dependent.

I have the same problem on my Lumia 950 if i try to enter microsoft.com "something went wrong, cant sign you in..." But i dont know whats the problem
 
I have the same problem at home on IE. I blame it on the numerous ad block software I have installed. I think some of it screws with the log-in. I don't care enough to turn it off or figure out which one is causing the problem.
 
I was having a problem with Windows 10 and Opera 34/35. Same errors.

I cleared cookies/browser cache/local data. Seems to have cleared it up.

Theory: Microsoft seems to be on a huge kick reorganizing their server content. My stored data conflicted with their redirects.
 
I never even thought to clear my catch.
I just waxed everything, except form data and passwords, and I can get to Microsoft's websites, again!!!
Thanks...
JJ

Yeah. I saved passwords and auto-form-fill. Glad you are uo and running again. :)
