  1. How on Earth do I contact Microsoft?


    For the past hour, I've been trying to contact someone, anyone, from Microsoft or Xbox. I want to play COD Cold War but it's saying I don't own it, even though it is downloaded, and I'm signed in to my account. I know I bought the game and I have the statements to prove it. Now this is only one part of the issue. I have spent the last hour of my time trying to contact Microsoft and I can't find a single support email. Their phone number is just a robot, and it's not like that's gonna do any good anyway because this problem can't be resolved over the phone. I am not going to talk to an AI. The other day, I called Apple's support number and I spoke to a real person who was just the loveliest woman I've ever spoken to. However after calling the Microsoft line, I was greeted by an electronic voice. It seems after 40 years you still can't compete with Apple. I own this game and you are not going to make me pay for it again. Who do I talk to about this? Give me an email address.

    :)

    About game:

    - if it is a disc install, ensure disc is inserted

    - I get this forgetting to put disc into console

    - weird message and not relevant at all, it should say insert disc instead

    - if digital download, ensure you run on the account you bought it with

    - i have a couple of accounts running some games from start that does not allow that otherwise

    About robot voice

    - I used this the other day, and here it was a callback thingy and MS phones me a couple of minutes later

    - rather neat I think, no more cost for lengthy call on your charge

    But agree that ticket based support systems are the best

    - you can have a conversation with supplied links and stuff

    This virtual assistant stuff is just for the very most basic problems.

    - rarely useful for anything

    Please also check your order history if the game is on there being purchased before. You can check that on this link:

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/

    If they are completed on there, you can try doing a reset on your console.

    NOTE: This will remove the profiles on your console, make sure that you remember the email and password to your account.

    No data or game saves will be lost doing this, everything is backed up to the cloud servers.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select Settings.

    3. Select System.

    4. Select Console info

    5. Select Reset console.

    6. Select Reset and keep my games & apps

    This will also help sync the data on your console properly.

    If the issue is still the same, please uninstall the game and reinstall again make sure all contents are installed especially the content packs from managed games and add ons.

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, your fellow Xbox gamer.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you need help on your COD cold war game. Let's check on that for you.

    Most of the time this error happens when the game is not completely installed or some contents are not yet installed from the game.

    Please do these steps:

    Please go to Games and Apps.

    Look for Call Of Duty and highlight it.

    Once highlighted, go to Manage Games and Add ons. Make sure all the add ons and contents are installed most especially content packs 1 - 4.

    Once installed, try the game again.

    Hope that helps!

    How do I contact a person at Microsoft?

    Hi Wedge.

    My name is Renato.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    I'm sorry for your issue, and I'd like to find a solution.

    Unfortunately, refunds can only be issued if you meet certain criteria. For example, if you've purchased a game, you must make the request within 14 days and have not accumulated a significant amount of playtime. It seems you've already followed the refund procedure, but I'll still provide you with the link to the support page for refunds.

    https://support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-billing/buy-games-apps/refund-orders

    Unfortunately, the request is automated, and Microsoft is not responsible for unauthorized card usage. I understand your position as a mom because I also have children, but in this case, unless the refund falls within the parameters outlined on the support page, Microsoft cannot intervene.

    I hope I've been clear.

    Kind regards
    Renato
