Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

If your gamer tag has been changed on your profile but not in-game, it is likely that the change has not yet been propagated throughout the Xbox Live system. This process can take some time, and it is possible that it may not be fully updated in-game until the next time you sign in or start a new game.

If the new gamer tag is not updated in the game after some time, you can try restarting your Xbox, or uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If the problem persists, you can contact Xbox support for further assistance.

So yesterday I tried to make a new gamer tag and it showed that there were no hashtags and when I purchased it it only changed my game gamer tag not the main one. I’m frustrated because I thought that it would change the main gamer tag that everyone else sees but it didn’t. I’ve checked and no one else has the gamer tag that I’m trying to create, and whenever I try to do it, it always add a hashtag after, is there anything I can do to remove the hashtag?

If it has a hashtag then its definitely taken.

Keep in mine the system doesnt recognize spaces as making a gamertag unique so gamertag and gamer tag for example would both be considered the same gamertag.

If you search up the gamertag you want it won't show up in the results unless you type it in exactly as the person has it.

i have the question why has my free gamer tag change has disapeared when i never changed my name

It has been a few days. I changed my gamer tag a few days ago and that’s when I started having the problem. I’ve been trying to change my profile picture on the app for like 2-3 days now.
