Same happening to my son. He tries to sign in, and the circle just keeps spinning. We tried to restart the xbox, a cold power down, a normal turn off, turning off the internet and back on, and unplugging the xbox. He hadn't played in a while and now he cannot
play at all.

Cannot sign in to my account to play this game for the past 3 days.

I can however sign into Xbox.com without any issues.

This is not helpful as I've already stated that this method is outdated and you cannot change your child's email address while signed into your own account. There is no place to change it. The only method is to sign into Microsoft with your child's login information and add an alias or second email address. But the parent cannot do this from their account. The problem is that if your child no longer has access to their old email address (hence the reason for changing it), you cannot confirm the login as Microsoft requires you to authenticate the login attempt with a code. If you don't have the email address, you cannot receive the code. I'm not sure why the brains at Microsoft haven't thought of a workaround for this and instead, my kid lost two years of game play from their account.

Can you login with the Home account? I know on my Home Xbox, I can download games but others cannot. So I download games for the kids and then they sign in and play, but I have to sign in to download them.
