    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that there are multiple reports in regards to the same issue, however, there are no official announcement from Microsoft that's why we just need to perform troubleshooting steps.

    Please perform an extended powercycle and reset the network hardware by following the steps below:

    "1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

    3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state."

    It says I am on the Xbox store when I am on my Xbox 1

    Your account is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com. Please complete this transaction from your Xbox

    That is what it says when I hit continue
    Thanks, Trim!

    That error indicates that your account is a child account. You will need to have the parent account make the purchase on the Xbox One console and use
    the Home console feature to share the game with your account. If you would like the game on your account, you will need to purchase it through an Xbox 360 console.

    Hey there, Trim!

    I'm sorry to see any issues! If you are attempting to purchase something on your Xbox One for a back compat game, you will want to check out our

    Xbox 360 Marketplace purchases
    support article. If you are getting errors, you may be on a child account or attempting to purchase with Microsoft Currency. If these are the case, you will need to make the purchase on an Xbox 360 console.

    However, if this isn't the case, please post back with the exact error you are receiving so that we can dig into this together! :)
