How to get back/view past messages that xbox has for some reason decided to get rid off

Hi there!

I am sorry to hear about what happened. I am afraid that we can no longer retrieve old messages that are no longer available in your message center. I believe that messages are deleted after a certain period of time.

You could try checking your messages through the Xbox app on mobile or Xbox app on Windows and see if they're still available. If not, I am afraid there's no way to recover it.

Best regards,

Hi there. Im sorry to say, but no. Unless they decide (for some reason) that they want to resend it, there is no possible way to get that message back. Im sorry. I hope I helped

Yes I used to get an option to install on Xbox One on that screen Ive pasted into the reply but I don't get 1 now, I did at some point setup game sharing and Ive found instructions which say " removing this as my home Xbox to remove the designation" this
apparently gets rids game sharing, have tried to follow said instructions, I get as far as the "Personalisation screen" and there's a message saying " Your home Xbox settings cannot be changed until we connect to this service".

How can I get the option back ?

The reason XBOX LIVE has been down for the past few hours is because Microsoft laid of 18,000 employes and one of the just so happened to get angered and decided to shut down XBOX LIVE

I'm glad of your initiative and sure to be that age and keep playing.
If it's a game bug try uninstalling and installing the game again, or look for some tutorial how to get past or get rid of this bug.
Good luck!
