    Can I retrieve back some of my 5 “make this Xbox my home” switches?


    I was attempting to fix my game share with my friend, as it was saying we both were playing at the same time, and I have accidentally used up all of my 5 “make this Xbox my home switches”. Is there anyway I can get a few of these back as I still have not fixed the gameshare issue and I can no longer adjust this option on my account? For reference we both live in the same house and I have not game shared with anyone else.

    :)

    i'm sorry but there's no way to get any additional Xbox switches back once you've use them you have to wait until they reset

    how do i get more xbox home switches

    Hi Deangelo,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums I'd be happy to answer that.

    You can change which console is your
    home Xbox     up to five times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you switch your home Xbox for the first time. If you reach your limit of home console switches for the year, you’ll get a message letting you
    know the next available date you can change it.

    Note Customer support cannot offer additional switches. If your console shows you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select
    Help when you see the message, Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception.

    You can also get help with your home Xbox in Xbox Assist. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, select
    System > Xbox Assist, choose My Xbox Assist >
    Search, and then enter My Home Xbox.
    I understand that you only have 5 switched per year. I just received my 5 switches back June17, 2019 now only a few of my friends have my account but on my account this year i’ve only switched 3 times, but it says i’ve switched 5 times when i didn’t. Is there
    anyway that i can get 2 switches back or anyway i can get a refund or something?

    0/5 Home Xbox switches when I haven’t switched in years

    Update

    Alright I don't know how or why but this is what I did.

    Went to home (from settings/ my home xbox)

    Closed/quit settings from options menu

    Went back to settings/ personalisation/ home xbox

    Went to learn more

    Went to Number of Switches/ learn more

    Read through/ opened all the Home Xbox topics

    Selected 'No' under "did this resolve your issue" and hit B to go back

    Now back at "number of Switches" pressed left over to settings next to learn more (where I just was)

    Navigated back to personalization/ home Xbox

    After a little buffering it showed the options and the box for make this my home Xbox was checked and it said I had 5/5, I hit the Xbox Button on the controller to get back to the home screen.

    Went to try the game and it worked...

    I'm at a loss on this but I'm happy

    Go try this now

    Microsoft... I've got my eye on you..

    Theres a family option thats called home xbox! You sign in with the account that has gold and games then go to settings -- personalization - my home xbox - make this my home xbox ( you have only 5 switches on a year ) and you can log in with any other
    account to share games and subscription with.
