W365: Error code 0x80072ee2

Recently i started seeing the below error message when accessing cloud pc through the windows app. 

The connection cannot proceed because the authentication authority cannot be contacted.

Error code: 0x80072ee2


Steps taken to resolve was quite simple. 

Try closing down windows app forcefully. 

Even if it fails to connect to windows 365 cloud pc next time then restart the base laptop which should fix this error.
