My home xbox issues

No, you can't get arount it as its a safeguard to prevent unautorized account/game sharing.. in order for your brother to access your games and content without being logged into your account the console he plays on has to be set as your "home console/xbox"
the three switches per year is to prevent unautorized use of the feature.. as I understand it the home console function is meant to allow sharing of games/content by people living under the same roof.. I would not recomend trying to work around this by giving
your brother access to your live account as this would fall under the term "account sharing" which is against the tou & coc and will result in an account and/or console ban.

You may need to sign in with the account on the console just to refresh the games maybe ?

After you make sure that the account you have the subscription is set up correctly please sign out or switch profile, then sign in with the account that does not own the subscription.

The second step is to make sure that you are signed in with two different profiles.

Please make sure that the profile that does not own the subscription is the one signed in on the console you made the home xbox. As for the account that owns the subscription can be signed on the other console.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

If you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select Help when you see the message Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception. If
you don't see a survey, you'll have to wait for your limit to reset on its own.

Is there a way to get back my switches?
