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

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

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?

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.

I reset my xbox and i used my 5 switches already but i need to make my friends account my home xbox again i paid half for all the games we bought.
