Visual-studio – Unable to Sign In to Visual Studio 2013

visual studiovisual-studio-2013

I recently installed Visual Studio Ultimate 2013, and when I tried to Sign In to my Microsoft Account, I get the following error:

SP324099: Could not complete the operation.

Furthermore, my IE starts up. I tried to find solutions online, nothing worked (there was something about flushing DNS; I tried that but it didn't work).

Is anyone familiar with this error or can suggest me a way to get around this?

I had the same problem with VS2015 (but, strangely, not with VS2013). The advice from @Petrovich1999 did not help me, but updating IE did. Turns out I was still running IE8 on my office workstation (I never use IE), and upgrading to IE11 allowed me to sign into Visual Studio.
