    It still looks the same to me. I don't see your real name anywhere.

    Sigh...headache...it wouldn't be showing my real name anymore...since I changed my display name to Kinect amaniac.

    You will see " Kinect amaniac"...if you've friend'd me or followed me and check your list of people you've friend'd or followed....or recent player list of we've gamed recently.

    I understand that, but my point is, all I see is the gamertag: Kinecamaniac. I don't see the pseudo "real name" "Kinect Amaniac" anywhere.

    All I can see is the same gamertag profile and listings as I linked images to earlier in this thread.

    I have now done a hard reset on my Xbox One, making sure that it was shut down completely. After doing so, I reviewed all of the places that I would see your gamertag listed; none of them show anything beyond the gamertag and your online/offline information
    except the profile, which does not show your "real name" information, be it real or substituted.

    Maybe Xbox finally got it fixed from the public/friends perspective? And it's now only showing up on my console? I certainly hope so.

    Tomorrow I will go see a couple friends and check on their consoles.

    Appreciate the help and thoughts all.

    Hey, sorry it took so long to reply, but I'm with Hyrule here, I pulled you up as soon as I got home and all I saw was your Gamertag like the image above. So I guess that it confirms your friends are seeing but it's not displaying to the public.
