If you guys arent sure how to fix this, could you point me in a direction of any other way to add the account to my xbox, that doesnt involve signing into it from the xbox itself
So I found a way to link my xbox account to my xbox, but now it shows up as a blank pfp account with its name just being the email, and when i try to sign in with it, it trys getting me to sign in again (which isnt working)
I tried logging into another xbox account on my xbox which worked fine, Im now wondering if this issue could be because the account in trying to log into is a new account,
it is very difficult to troubleshoot issues via chat when someone has multiple accounts, especially if they linking process is failing.
your best bet when encountering account issues is to contact official support
alright thanks, do you know if theres a way to go through my console setup without factory reseting my console though?
i feel like that might work
if the game disc is broken then resetting your console isn't going to fix it
but yes, when you do a factory reset you have the option to save your games
i dont have a broken game disc
whopps sorry was replying to a different one and got confused
one last thing though, do you know why my linked xbox account is showing up as an email adress, rather than having a gamertag and picture?
btw ive already set up a gamertag and picture on the mobile xbox app already
What do you mean by this? Like where is this showing u on ur xbox?
when i turn on my xbox and it asks me what accounts to sign in with
or when i try to switch signed in accounts
my profile shows properly in the family section of the settings, but when I click "add to this xbox" it adds the account with something but an email
I have that problem on my family accounts I just never had an issue with it
Think the email thing has to do with u being on a family account
you reckon if I remove the account from a family it could get fixed?
Maybe idk I always have my accounts on family even though none of my family members own a Microsoft account
Does this Gmail show as a username in any game?
No
Yes
Yeah strange I never ran into that kind of problem
It shows my email everytime I start up my xbox or look at my account in settings or even shows it in the corner on the homescreen
it doesnt let me even sign into the account
whenever I try, it tells me to enter a code to microsoft.com/link
but when I do that, nothing happens
