    I can't change back to my previous Microsoft Account name on Minecraft


    I don't think this is the right place to ask this, but Mojang Support told me to contact Microsoft as I recently migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft. But I have no idea how to contact them so here I am. Basically, it's been over the 30 days that Minecraft requires for you to change your name back to your previous user. After those 30 days, you have 7 days to reclaim that name until it goes public to everyone. In my case, there's a bug or something wrong that won't let me change my name back, even though it's during those 7 days.

    P.S. Is there any way I could get in contact with Microsoft via email? I've looked forever and couldn't find anything relating to my issue.

    :)

    Hey Sam24313,

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your name on Minecraft. Microsoft cannot help with Mojang Username changes, but can assist with Xbox Gamertag changes and if that is what Mojang meant, the link to change it is here: How to change your Xbox gamertag | Xbox Support

    According to the Minecraft help website that J​amie posted, Minecraft Support cannot help users change their names , the system is set up so that users can change their usernames. You can change your username every 30 days if you want. Minecraft Support also cannot assist with a username that is unavailable nor a username with less than three characters

    Worst case, you can try to change it via your Mojang account on the 38th day and see if that works. if it is a bug, then Mojang are the only ones who can fix it. I know they sent you here, but I would submit a ticket.

    Doublecheck your have changed your name back, but it doesn't show as the gamertag, here's a help article explaining the difference. The Differences Between Gamertag vs Username – Home (minecraft.net)

    I can't change back to my previous Microsoft Account name on Minecraft

    Oh, I apologize I only saw the second link, in the first link it says, "When you change your username, your previous name is saved for 37 days. This gives you an additional week to change back if you change your mind before your previous username becomes available to anyone else." The issue is that it's not allowing me to change back during this additional week.
