Issue when trying to change GamerTag

Hi Thomas,

I'm not quite understanding what the issue is. Is the error occurring when changing your Gamertag? Or were you able to change the Gamertag and the issue lies when you try to login when Minecraft opens?

Please try to update your Gamertag from this site: https://social.xbox.com/changegamertag

Please explain with more detail what you are trying to do when you get the error and post the exact error here so we have an idea.

I changed my gamertag awhile ago from “XCD to xcd” and was able to change it back to “XCD” with no issue now when I try to change it back to lowercase I get the same error

“Something went wrong. Try your gamertag again.” Been like this for awhile

Changing your gamertag is most likely not the issue. When I changed my gamertag back in September last year I never had an issue with notifications. I'll keep looking around to try and find an answer to your question but I just posted this to try and help
you rule out a possibility.

[quote user="Running Pubs"]I am trying to change my gamertag to something different. But when i go to change my gamertag, it says the gamertag I want i "already taken"

But when i go to send a message to the gamertag, it says it doesn't exist on XBOX LIVE. [/quote]

If the name change attempt tells you the gamertag is taken, it is taken. What's probably happening is that there's a difference in the spacing: I can't change to
RunningPubs because you are Running Pubs (with a space), but trying to send a message to
RunningPubs would fail because that variation isn't the one in use.

(I suppose you're trying to "purchase" a gamertag change, but these questions usually go in "Managing My Account", where there's a sticky post covering exactly this issue.)
