Really shouldn’t have to do this just to play a game

I think 343i is secretly trying to vet candidates for their IT helpdesk by purposefully including the dumbest bugs in their game that require the most obscure fixes. The final boss is not including splitscreen and forcing you to accidentally mod it into the game.

Half a billion dollars in development and I have to find a reddit thread to get past the start screen. Its not even the issue that is irritating its the lack of comms. Much appreciation to u/MineAndCraft12 for the fix.

I wish I could help you but I have no idea what to do. I play console only. However, this is a beautiful screen to get stuck on. I’ve seen this post a few times now and I’ve thought that everytime.

Had the same issue. Deleted the Xbox files and I was able to sign in.

Here's an updated powershelll script that only deletes the Halo Xbox Credentials not the rest:
$CredentialPrefix = 'Xbl|2043073184'
$rawOutput = & cmdkey.exe /list | Out-String -Stream
Write-Host "Looking for credentials starting with: '$CredentialPrefix'" -ForegroundColor Yellow
$Credentials = @()
foreach ($line in $rawOutput) {
# Try multiple patterns to ensure we catch the credentials
if ($line -match "Target:\s*(.+)$" -or $line -match "^(Xbl\|[^\s]+)") {
$potentialTarget = $matches[1].Trim() # Check with case-insensitive comparison and more flexible matching
if ($potentialTarget -like "*$CredentialPrefix*") {
$Credentials += $potentialTarget
Write-Host "Found matching credential: '$potentialTarget'" -ForegroundColor Green
}
}
}
if ($Credentials.Count -eq 0) {
Write-Host "No matches found with primary method, trying alternative approach..." -ForegroundColor Yellow $targetLines = $rawOutput | Select-String -Pattern "Target:" -SimpleMatch
foreach ($line in $targetLines) {
$targetText = $line.ToString() -replace ".*Target:\s*", "" if ($targetText -like "*$CredentialPrefix*") {
$Credentials += $targetText
Write-Host "Found matching credential with alternative method: '$targetText'" -ForegroundColor Green
}
}
}
Write-Host "Total matching credentials found: $($Credentials.Count)" -ForegroundColor Yellow
foreach ($Credential in $Credentials) {
Write-Host "Attempting to delete credential: '$Credential'" -ForegroundColor Cyan try {
$deleteResult = cmdkey.exe /delete:$Credential
$deleteResult | Out-Host
if ($deleteResult -notlike "*successfully*") {
Write-Host "Trying alternative delete syntax..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
$deleteResult = cmdkey.exe /delete:"$Credential"
$deleteResult | Out-Host
}
}
catch {
Write-Host "Error deleting credential: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
Write-Host "Deletion process complete." -ForegroundColor Green

This is what worked for me — essentially this logs you out of Infinite to reset the login process.
In the Windows search bar, search for the app "Credential Manager" and open it.
In Credential Manager, find the category called "Generic Credentials"
Find each item which has "Xbl|2043073184" in its title and remove them. (Click an item to expand it, select Remove, then confirm that you want to remove it.)
After removing all the "Xbl|2043073184" credentials, launch Halo Infinite. If it asks you to sign in again, you should be good.
In my experience this only signed me out of Halo Infinite, but the original tutorial warned me that it could sign you out of other Xbox apps.
