  1. Can't set my Xbox as my home xbox


    the story on this is I went over my friends house and I,signed in on his Xbox and set his Xbox as my home Xbox so we can play Minecraft but later that day I went back home and made my Xbox my home xbox and when I wasn't online he signed in to my account
    and made his Xbox be my accounts home Xbox. And I bought a game recently digitally and he's able to play it even though he didn't pay for it and I don't want him to be able to play it. When I try to make my Xbox my home Xbox its says you can only do this 3
    times a year. Is there anyway I can make my Xbox my home Xbox?

    :)

    My Xbox .. Set as my Home Xbox

    Hey there o DVD o!

    Sorry to hear about the Xbox One Home frustrations. Each account can set their Xbox One as there home Xbox up to three times a year. After one year from your first Xbox One home change, you may change it again.

    If this was done under your account without you knowing, I definitely recommend contacting our chat or phone support agents through our Contact Us page.

    Hope this clears it up! Can't set my Xbox as my home xbox :)

    Can't set my Xbox as my home xbox

    At the bottom of the xbox forum page click where it says support ( make sure that you have the right contry selected.. the current country setting is below the support link, if incorrect click on it and select your country) then you'll find a "contact us"
    option.. click on it and select xbox one and you'll find several options where you shold be able to get in contact with support from ms..

    Your friend riscs a console/account ban as what he has done falls in under the term account sharing an is against the xbox live t.o.s and c.o.c.. so you'ĺl need to report what has happen and hopfully you'll get it sorted out...

    Ps. You should not need to make an other console "your home console" to play your digital download games on it, all you should need to do is sign in with your account.. and remember to remove it from the console after you are finished when it's on someone
    elses console..

    Can't set to my home xbox

    Even if someone has set their console as home with your account, you should be able to set your own Xbox as home, as console homes can be switched 5 times a year. Do you get any error when you try to. Because you have changed your account password, and
    if you set your console as home, other person can not do that again as he can't login.

    I can't set my home Xbox

    Hi Killer2o3

    Try restarting your Xbox by holding the power button on your Xbox for 10 seconds. See if that works. Hopefully it does. If it doesnt, if I was you I would try it later because you dont want the number of switches left to go down.

    I can't set my home Xbox

    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.
