    Pin to homepage


    All my Pins have just disappeared, is there anyway to get them back. The Pins section seems to be gone and there are no 'groups'. any ideas?

    If removing the Pins was part of an update, how do I contact Microsoft about them not transferring the Pins into a group?

    :)

    So how can I pin things after this recent update

    So my pins have survived the recent update (unlike my movies and t.v wishlist) however I can't seem to pin anything to my homepage even though I still have pins and I was wondering how to do that.

    Live Update Question.

    The 'pin to home' feature is pretty neat, though without any option to make 'home' your homepage it seems mostly redundant.

    Eh? The default homepage is set to home already, no option needed.

    I've recreated the group, with a different name, but would still like to know if there is an option to restore the previous group.

    If you open up 'My Games & Apps' and go into the Groups section. There's a option listed under More options that says "Delete all groups". When you select Delete all groups, you'll be shown an option to "Delete local groups". Deleting the local groups will
    have the system resync your previously saved groups. When you're experiencing missing groups. This is the best method to return the missing groups onto your system.

  7. I’ve had my entire pin section disappear before. It seems your pins are tied to your XBL account (no idea why) instead of local. Any time there’s sporadic issues with XBL I can usually assume I’ll have pin issues.
