profile required login loop

how do i get halo 5 forge pc to recognize xbox live account login?
so it was working fine yesterday. i was workin on a map in alpine. all good.
then i bought the mcc collection on steam today. super sweet im stoked to do some forging on it
then i updated the primary email address alias for my gamertag because the old email was fathers email and asked to stop getting my xbox live emails. ok fine
so i finally did that for him so now my gamertag i log in using my email. i log in to my gamertag using my email. i removed his email from the account. oh well

fire up halo 5 forge pc because i want to work on the map i was doing before i bought mcc
halo 5 forge pc app starts up… microsoft game studios
>sign-in required
>an xbox live profile is required to play halo 5 forge. please sign in
ok i sign in to my gamertag that ive had for 15 years using the new email address.
i log in to my gamertag using the new email thats not my dads email address anymore, removed his from the account finally
it sees that its my gamertag. yup its not the one month trial i wasted on this email address years ago. its my main gamertag all good. i was worried it would not recognoize my main account and instead would try to log in to halo 5 forge pc using that throw away one month gold trial account i made on my email when i was in 9th grade

here is the problem

issue resolved.

i uninstalled the xbox (beta) app from the windows store
then i uninstalled the xbox console companion from the windows store
then i reinstalled the xbox console companion from the windows store
then i logged in to the xbox console companion from the windows store
then i closed the xbox console companion app
then i opened halo 5 forge pc
>it logged me in and worked.

there was a xbox live screen that said “synching data. hang on”
then it just let me access the menu with my main gamertag.
