Stuck on GamerTag create screen

Managed to get past the gamertag recovery / Password screen, now it's stuck on " Signing in " urghh

Got stuck in loading screen after pressing A. There is my gamertag in bottom left corner but nothing else happens.

Hi, Marrion,

The link you provided along with the 5 steps (https://account.xbox.com/en-us/Profile) worked. While I was previously unable to create a gamertag, this bypassed the issue, allowed me to log into my Xbox account, and further allowed me to customize the gamertag.

Thank you very much!

Hi Thunderfrost,

Thank you for the response. Glad to hear that the link provided worked together with the 5 steps and that you were able to edit or update your gamertag already. Thank you also for spending time here with us in the Community.

Hi Thunderfrost,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble creating your Xbox account.



Based on the information you've provided; it seems like there might be an issue with the gamertag creation process. First, kindly try to follow these steps below to create a gamertag and see how it goes:

1. Go to https://account.xbox.com/en-us/Profile and sign in with your Microsoft account.

2. Click on the "Customize profile" button on the top right corner of the page.

3. Click on the "Change gamertag" link under your current gamertag.

4. Enter a new gamertag or choose one of the suggested ones and click "Claim it".

5. If the gamertag is available, you will see a confirmation message and your profile will be updated with the new gamertag.

If still issue persists, here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Browser cache: Sometimes, browser cache can cause issues with website functionality. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, and then attempt to create your gamertag again. Here's an article that explains how to clear cache and cookies on different browsers: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/clear-browsing-history-and-data-in-microsoft-edge-00cf7943-a9e1-975a-a33d-ac10ce454ca4



2. Network connectivity: Poor network connectivity can also cause issues with website functionality. Try connecting to a different network or resetting your router/modem, and then attempt to create your gamertag again.



3. Gamertag availability: It's possible that the gamertag you're trying to create is already taken. Try creating a different gamertag and see if that works.



If none of these solutions work, you can try creating your Xbox account on a different device then see if it works.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Marrion
