  1. Reset console, and lost Xbox profile


    Due to ongoing blank screen problems (late January 2019), we saw some comments to reset console but keeping apps and games. However, our profile has now been lost. We tried to create a new profile but a new system-generated profile is now linked to our Microsoft
    account?

    Is there any way to recover our previous profile from sort of Microsoft backup? There are almost 4 years worth of history associated (e.g. V-bucks for Fortnite etc). We've tried speaking to a Microsoft support person, but that's impossible.

    Thanks in advance for answers.

    :)

    Thanks for quick reply. However, the new profile that was system generated, we went ahead and setup that with the existing e-mail address as we thought we would be able to re-access the old profile.

    So the problem now is that everytime we login to the Microsoft account, the new profile is associated with it.

    I'm trying to get in touch with technical support at Microsoft to see if they can somehow re-connect with the old profile (a backup?). A lot of money was spent on that old profile.

    Thanks again.

    Everybody,

    Thanks for the responses. I finally got it sorted. It took some investigation but I was using the wrong login. I was sure I using the same one from about 4 years ago when I set it up. But I looked around some old e-mail messages, and found the original login
    was different. I logged in using the original info... and all the profile data is there.

    One of the responses did suggest to double-check the login info... so thanks again everybody.

    As long as you have the data for the account (Mail and password) you could redownload the account to you console. If you have any trouble with it check this page: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-gamertag-and-profile/add-remove-account-xbox-one

    Hope that helps

    The profile is a completely separate thing from the console. You can sign in anywhere and access your stuff. Make sure you're using the proper info and check the Xbox.com website using the desktop site to make sure you're entering in everything correctly
    too.
