: Can't add my xbox 360 to my devices in microsoft?
Hi all,

Si I'm trying to play games online via Xbox Live but it's telling me I don't have the permission. After doing some research I am now aware that I need to reset the passcode for my xbox 360 but to do that I need to add it to my devices in Microsoft Account.
I log into Microsoft and I can see my laptop listed in "my devices". Right next to it there is a register option so I press it, select "add xbox" > "console" and then "I can't sing into my device". Then I get a screen where I need to enter the serial number
of my xbox, after doing so I select the "accept" box at the bottom and press confirm, it takes a few secs and then I get a message "Your device has been added" [manage this device at any time in the device details page. See all your devices in the Devices
page] and I press ok and I'm back to the main screen where I can still only see my laptop in my devices and no sign of xbox. I've tried doing it couple of times I also tried waiting for it to be maybe approved but it's still not there. Can anyone help?

TL;DR I can't add xbox 360 to my devices in Microsoft account

Hello is this a console your brought or is it previously owned??

Sorry to hear it. Before you can add the console to your account so you can reset the passcode you'll first need to register the console under your name at
https://devicesupport.microsoft.com. Once done you should be able to add it to your devices and reset the code

Thank you! I've got it registered now, I'll see how I get on from here.

[edit]

My xbox keeps appearing and disappearing from my devices when I log on to Microsoft, this is getting really frustrating...

Hi, thanks for the reply

Probably previously owned by several owners. I had it up in the attic for years and only just got it out recently and started playing games like GTA V

I'm having the same issues. Xbox 360 was set up with Play To and worked flawlessly, then stopped working after a couple months. Now I can't add my Xbox One as a Device in Windows 8.1 Pro w/ Media. I'm starting to think it has more to do with Windows 8 than
my actual console. I've tried every solution listed on this thread and nothing has worked. Can't add my Xbox One as a device in PC Settings OR Control Panel, simply does not show up. It used to work with my 360 (wired connection) and stopped out of the blue.
My Xbox One is also wired, if that has anything to do with this. My Xbox One is recognized by Console Name in SmartGlass for Windows however. I feel like Microsoft broke this on purpose.
