I cannot create xbox account with microsoft account on Xbox Game Bar

CountingCow3230 · Sep 16, 2019

It doesn't let me create account... I tried use Xbox Game Bar to create account.

After selecting gamertag, gamerpic and pressing "create account" I receive error 400.

( "More information" link sends me to useless topics. )

"We cannot log you to Xbox Live service. Try again later.

If that doesn't help, use some of our idea solutions for this problem."

Does it get http error 400 (Bad Request) internally or something?

All I wanted is play Minecraft for Windows 10 I've claimed 3 years ago.

PS. When I logged on here to get support, it forced nickname and picture I didn't choose. ;w;

:)

The 400 Bad Request error is an HTTP status code indicates that the request you sent to the webserver was malformed , in other words, the data stream sent by the client to the server didn't follow the rules. It means that the request itself has somehow incorrect or corrupted and the server couldn't understand it. The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method . Therefore, it prevents the website from being properly displayed. There are a number of different causes for a 400 Bad Request Error . It might be a malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing . In most cases, the problem is on the website itself, and there's not much you can do about that. To fix a 400 Bad Request error it is best to start diagnosing the issue from the client side itself. Complete the steps outlined in this section to help diagnose and correct the error.

Where I can report bugs?

Seems like app didn't inform me about gamertag restrictions:

"You can use up to 15 characters: Aa-Zz, 0-9 and single spaces.

Gamertag cannot start with a number or start or end with a space."

So it doesn't allow cyrylic, diacritic letters or punctation marks

such apostrophe ('), and(&), tilda(~) or hyphen(-).

But somehow when creating acount it allowed me

to use names like "Zażółć" or "Test n' Rest".

So it's something wrong with the xbox app...

And it needs to be fixed...

Did you ever contact Xbox Live support?

I can successfuly change gamertag (using new system) there:

(since xbox app on windows 10 is broken, can't create account with it)

Change Xbox Gamertag | Xbox

Buh bye, !

Sadly I won't be able to change gametag anymore for free,

because system wasted one on log on here... :/

More information about choosing gamertag:
Gamertag Update FAQ

I hope they will allow them to begin with numbers someday...

Hi there, I would like to get some clarification on a couple of things so I may help you or possibly someone else... I'd like to ask a few questions:

Are you receiving any other error codes?

Have you tried restarting your Xbox/device?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also like to state a suggestion.

Just restarting your console/device if you haven't already.

This to my knowledge is the best fix to this issue as it has

happened to me in the past. Just try it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error code 400 goes as just a bad request, but there are several fixes

on the web that I have found here are a couple.
