    if i factory reset my xbox, but im signed into the xbox app, will this affect my account info?


    so my xbox has been acting up, its connected and on but theres just a black screen. i tried looking at what to do and it seemed like my only option was a factory reset, however! all my old stuff from when i was a kid is on this xbox, messages, photos, minecraft worlds, ect, so im hesitant. but i do have the xbox app installed, so if i have the xbox app installed, will it affect my account? or is it all in the cloud?

    :)

    Hi there Amelia, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Factory resetting your console does not affect your account or the Xbox app. After resetting the console, you can re-add your account with your email and password, and you'll still have access to your purchased games, progress, and so on, as everything is stored in the Xbox/Microsoft cloud.

    In short, the reset of your console is completely independent of your account or the Xbox app.

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.
