Issues with Looking for Groups.

try removing the account from the console, doing a hard restart, hold the power button for 10 seconds while the system is on, and then re-adding the account

Hello AnchorHound, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble searching for groups and sending messages on your Xbox account. I understand that you have already verified your online security settings and that there are no restrictions applied. Here are some additional suggestions that might help you resolve the issue:

Restart your Xbox: Try restarting your Xbox to refresh the connection and reset any possible temporary errors.

Verify your Xbox Live Gold subscription: Some features, such as joining groups or sending messages, may require an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. Make sure your subscription is active and up to date.

Check the status of Xbox Live services: Issues on Xbox Live servers may affect messaging and group search functionality. Visit the Xbox website or official Xbox social media channels to check for known service issues.

Delete and re-add your profile: Sometimes connection or account setup issues can be resolved by deleting and re-adding your profile on Xbox. Go to your account settings and select the option to delete your profile. Then, add it back using the proper steps.

Reset network settings: If the problem persists, you can try resetting your Xbox's network settings. This will erase all existing network settings and allow you to set up a new Internet connection. Please note that you will have to re-enter network information, such as your Wi-Fi password.

Hey there, Ben!

I'm sorry to see any issues with this, but your friends will want to turn off the notification for Looking for Group in their Settings to get rid of these. This is a preference set on their side and not yours.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns on this! I'm happy to help where I can.

Unfortunately none of the above worked. I restarted it. I removed my profile from the xbox and put it back on, nothing. Then i removed my profile from the xbox, then restarted it, then turned it off, then signed my profile back on, turned it off, on, still didn’t work.

Xbox Live and stuff is all good.

Nothing else worked either. Thing is, my brother can send ‘I’m interested’ and post LFGs using the same xbox, and he has the same online safety settings that I do. He’s always been able to do this, never gets errors. Could it be a bug in my account? It doesn’t seem to be an issue with my xbox.

Hi yes but even posts like playing a insert game are still getting banned nothing related to advertising or selling
