@Bhargava KS Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
Can you check the troubleshooting guide for sign in issues here: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/azure-storage/blobs/alerts/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows#sign-in-issues
Your issue may be more related to authentication.
If, on startup, you see an error message that says Storage Explorer's authentication library failed to start properly, make sure your installation environment meets all prerequisites. Not meeting prerequisites is the most likely cause of this error message.
If you believe that your installation environment meets all prerequisites, open an issue on GitHub. When you open your issue, make sure to include:
- Your OS.
- What version of Storage Explorer you're trying to use.
- Whether you checked the prerequisites.
- Authentication logs from an unsuccessful launch of Storage Explorer. Verbose authentication logging is automatically enabled after this type of error occurs.
Let me know if you are still seeing the issue after following the steps suggested in the troubleshooting guide.
