Home Xbox feature

YouAlready-Know · Aug 24, 2019

I wanted to set my xbox I use frequently to be my home xbox because it makes sense to do so, so when i try to change it into my home xbox it says only one console can be the home xbox at a time and the problem i am having is currently that having previously
had two Xbox's and one was the home xbox and i sold that one i can no longer set the current one as the home xbox.

I need help with it asap.

Thanks

:)

Hi ,

Thanks for the update. When you set a different console as home, the previous console will have it's home console association revoked. For more information on the home Xbox setting, check out this article:

Home Xbox FAQ.

I hope this helps.

I can't revoke from the other console, it just wont let me and i dont have the other console as well.

sharing account details with another user is against the terms and you and the other person can get a perm ban, the home feature is not to share games with other people outside of your home.

Hello YouAlready-Know!

Thanks for reaching out to Xbox forums support.

I'm sorry to hear about the error message that you're receiving when trying to set the Home Xbox to your console.

If you still have "Home Xbox switches" remaining... you should have no problem setting it up.

Below I'll provide you a helpful link showing you how Game Sharing works and how to set it up:

How to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox

If that doesn't help, try this:

If you haven't already done so, go ahead and try performing a Soft console Factory
reset on your console by doing the following:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Settings.
Select All Settings.
Select System.
Select Console info & updates.
Select Reset console. [KEEP MY GAMES AND APPS]

Make sure you have both your email and password on hand as you will be asked to sign back in. There is an option to delete everything and to save your games and apps; choose the latter. This will
reset the Operating system [OS] of the console and allow you a fresh start-up. Hope this helps!

Try this out and let us know if it helps!

Hello Know,

Thanks for the update. Try
uninstalling and reinstalling your profile. There may be a glitch causing the home not to switch. As you should be able to even if your home is on another console.

Hope this helps, let us know.
