I cant make my xbox my home xbox

Caleb Joesph · Aug 5, 2020

So, off of a previous thread, I have soft reset my xbox, changed my name, deleted my account, hard reset my xbox, restarted, full shutdown. I've done it all guys and everytime it says "can't connect to this service try again later" but I was able to make
a DIFFERENT xbox my home xbox. The console in question is up to date too.

What do I do if I've tried everything?

Hi Caleb,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We are sorry for this rare issue. Since you tried everything we would offer. Want to suggest something odd. Could you try doing the home console setting on a different network. For instance, take the console to a friend
or family member than try to make home console. It will still be home console when you go home.

Thanks,

Brad

I borrow this thread because i have a similiar problem.

First of all my xbox was set as home xbox from the begining but my kids where playing around when i wasent home. They have pressed this button for "Dont make this as my home xbox"

No my licenses for games doesent work.

I tried to press "Make this as my home xbox again"

It says " we are sorry but we cant do this settings right now"

I have tried a couple of time but still get the same message.

Anyone know how to fix this?

That's not how Home Xbox works, and he never had access to your games. Downloading his profile to your Xbox does not give him access to your games on his Xbox.

And deleting his account won't make the game playable by your account; the game is still owned by his account (the licence is attached to his profile), so to play the game he would also need to be logged in on your Xbox while you play.

Changing *your* profile's Home Xbox affects only where the games *you* purchased can be played, it does not allow you to play games that you downloaded using someone else's account.

Here's more information on how the Home Xbox settings actually work:

This issue is linked with your account, but I just confirmed by calling into Xbox Support that they can reset the "3 time per year" counter associated with the account.

She deleted my gold subscription in the process, but we eventually got everything worked out and I could then set my Xbox back to "my home Xbox".

Hope this helps!
