Can't Login to Play Fortnite After Connecting Account to Epic Games

Earlier today, I created an Epic Games account and linked my Xbox Live gamertag as well as my Twitch to this account. When I got home and tried to play Fortnite / stream, I couldn't get past the login screen and Fortnite tells me that there is trouble logging
into my Xbox Live account. Twitch also is having some issues as well as it tells me that it can't connect to the online services. I find this very odd as every other account on my Xbox One is able to get online and use the multiplayer services with no problems
yet mine can't do that. I figured that it had something to do with connecting those accounts to the Epic Games account.

Has anybody else had this problem / gotten around it?

Thanks!

Oh I also forgot to mention that I disconnected my XBL and Twitch accounts from the Epic Games account and even removed my gamertag from my Xbox and then added it back but that didn't work.

you have to use an epic account with fortnite so you would have to login to epic and change your name there. as for minecraft, no clue.

Connect his Fortnite account to the epic game and redeem the code there

If you already changed your password and enabled 2 Factor Authentication, already entered your Epic Games account and unlinked every other device or person there you're still getting this issue, I'd really recommend you to contact Epic Games support to see what's going on with your account. This should only happens when you login to the same account on different devices.

I'm not a Microsoft, Xbox or Epic Games employee so I can't help you even more. Only Epic Games Official Support can't see why this is happening to your account.

Appreciate the ideas from everyone. Unfortunately I've tried all the these with no success.

According to Epic my son's fortnite account is a "nameless" account so instead of creating a regular epic account i need to promote that account to a full account. When you go to their website login page there are buttons for the different gaming platforms.
I've gone though the Xbox setup one and are told it has found my son's Xbox fortnite account. However after running through the setup process nothing happens. The login i just created is said to be invalid.

Having said that I've also tried going the other way. Set up a regular Epic using a completely different email address then assign the Xbox account to that. Doing so I get anb error that the Xbox account is already assigned to an epic account.

Truly frustrating...
