  1. Microsoft listed me as being in US now I can not use Local Xbox store


    I purchased my son Xbox Gold from local Australian games store EBGames and activated it online via my computer he then tried to upgrade to Gamepass but got an error message saying the store region did not match I contacted Microsoft on multiply occasions trying to sort out the issue and they tried to tell me that I bought an American code from an Australian shop and wont help rectify the problem. I have been trying to buy a US Microsoft gift card to try get around the issue but as am in Australia can not get US card. How can we fix this issue it has been a major pain since November with Xbox chat contacts saying they will get a supervisor to sort it and get back to me with no further reply from them. I bought an Australian coded from an Australian retailer and activated it in Australia so have no idea how they have it listed as US ????

    :)

    you can change regions once per every three months, support cannot manually change your region. some sites sell codes and they sell codes for other regions too, it is a risk when buying codes.

    Mouse and Keyboard on games that don't support

    okay why is it when i spoke to Microsoft support they didnt bring this up?
    I have no idea. But the store agent I spoke at the Microsoft store informed me you can use M&K for all games. You can contact your local Microsoft store and ask them. Also, when you called Xbox support did you speak to someone from hardware. For example,
    if you spoke to someone from Billing they might not be aware of hardware that could be used.

    When I spoke to an agent via live chat on Xbox Support she was from Subscriptions and didnt want to give me false information and advised me to contact the store. After that I contacted my local Microsoft store and was told M&K can be used for all games.

    Also, the videos I watched on Youtube where gamers was using the M&K was from 8 to 11 months ago. I went back and check the dates it was posted. Now they would be consider cheating since M&K was supported for all games then. I recommend you checking the
    dates of the videos you watched. Now it isn't cheating because again you can use M&K on all games now.

    I cannot make the Xbox App for PC work,

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Xbox forum.

    We understand your sentiments about not being able to install games on your Xbox app. We find this issue quite unusual as Reinstalling Windows serves as our final troubleshooting for any Software related issues.

    Kindly try the additional methods below and let us know if it helps. You might have performed some of the methods listed below, just feel free to skip it.



    • Clear Microsoft Store Cache
    1. Close any open program/browsers on your Desktop
    2. press Windows + R key to open the RUN DIALOG box
    3. type WSRESET then hit OK
    4. an empty Command Prompt window will open up. Leave this open and wait for about 30 seconds, and wait for it to automatically close
    5. after the Command Prompt is closed, the Microsoft Store will launch, which should be reset now

      - you need to relog your account to Microsoft Store and in Xbox application


    We hope this help. We look forward for your response!

    Sincerely,

    Leonardo_Y

    Hi PerplexedGiant6

    In order to save the customized profiles you create when configuring the controller, you need to be signed into a Microsoft Account with an Xbox Live profile associated with the account. If you signed into Windows on initial boot up using a Microsoft Account,
    then the Microsoft Store and apps you download from the Store will automatically be logged into that same Microsoft Account.

    If you log in to Windows using a local account but want to login using a Microsoft Account instead, try the following steps:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Your info(in some versions, it may be under Email & accounts instead).
    • Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead. You'll see this link only if you're using a local account. Note that if you see Sign in with a local account instead, you're already using your Microsoft account.
    • Follow the prompts to switch to your Microsoft account.

    If you want to continue using a local account to log in to Windows or are not sure if you are logged into the Microsoft Store with a Microsoft Account, you can check manually by launching the Microsoft Store and clicking on the user icon in the top
    right corner. From there you should be able to sign in or confirm if a Microsoft Account is signed in.

    Can the account balance of a banned Xbox use their balance in the Microsoft store?

    Ok, so he can sign into the Microsoft store. A local grocery store near us is doing a promotion on gift cards. Can you still put that money on the account to use towards the xbox?
