Game Pass Ultimate on PC breaks if primary e-mail alias for Microsoft Account is changed.

Sorry to hear it. Please try changing your email again but this time make sure you log out of the Xbox Companion App then back in as well. I've found that it seems to be connected to the Beta App so can affect things

If that doesn't work you can try deleting the Beta app and then redownloading it

Try changing it online instead. Go to
http://www.account.live.com Login with your current Microsoft Account e-mail address and as soon as your login, under overview you will see primary account alias, and that will show your current e-mail. Under that you will see the option to add or change
primary alias... so just fill in required info and that should do it for you.

Good news everybody! I finally managed to change the e-mail associated with my gamertag! I will describe how it was done.

My problem:

I had one original gamertag that was used on my xbox and had achievements and purchases assigned to it. The e-mail address however was old and not in use. Then, due to Windows 8 and a random sign in to xbox.com, I had a 2nd gamertag, this one had nothing
assigned to it, BUT it was assigned to my preferred, primary, e-mail account. Googling this issue led me nowhere, solutions I saw was "make a 3rd e-mail account, move gamertag to that, them move to the first etc."

Solution:

This solution is based on changing whats regarded as the primary alias to your Microsoft ID. Your MS ID is also whats used for xbox.com and the xbox.

1. Log into https://account.live.com/. Look at overview. Here, add a primary alias. Create a new at @outlook.com address. Note that this will be the login for this account in the future!

2. After you have added the alias, make that alias primary.

3. Then, remove the old e-mail you want freed. The e-mail address you want to use on the other Microsoft ID.

Then, we move on to the MS ID you want to use. In my case, this MS ID was associated to an old expired e-mail account.

1. Log into https://account.live.com/. Look at overview. Here, add a primary alias. Use the e-mail you freed on the other account.

2. After you have added the alias, make that alias primary.

3. Remove the expired old e-mail address.

This worked for me today! Without using the xbox or the horrible games for windows live client. Good luck!

You inadvertently created two accounts. I see this happen to people all the time. Follow these steps:

1) Go to http://www.account.live.com

2) Sign-In with the old email address and password that you had previously for your gamertag.

3) Click the link underneath your primary alias that says "add or change alias".

4) Add or Create a new e-mail address for the account.

5) Set the new e-mail address as primary once you verify it.

***Note: You will not be able to use the NEW email that you created because it is an outlook.com e-mail. Typically, you can remove the new e-mail address from the new account and add it to the old account, however, removing a Microsoft e-mail address as
the primary e-mail alias on a Microsoft Account will disable that e-mail address.***
