Thanks microsoft! I got a code to connect my switch to microsoft account, but it still says...

also, i've put in the activate code millions of times, so don't tell me to try again!

I got 3 versions on the game. The windows 10 version, I cant add friends. Says go to a website and change privacy settings. (I dont see where this should be a thing, ive had this account since i was 14, am 32 now)

2nd switch, account, when i try to sign into Microsoft account, gives me code, i go to website type in code, website says "all done". On switch i try to sign into Microsoft again. Gives me code again. This is endless loop.

3r switch account isnt able to add friends. Just like my account. The 3rd switch IS connected to Microsoft.

This is not the first time I've signed into my Microsoft account for minecraft or Nintendo switch. I have tried multiple wifi connections, and the only error code it gives me is error code 500 and says xbox live cannot complete this request. I am able to log into my Microsoft account on the regular Microsoft website, just doesn't work for the website to connect it to my minecraft for nintendo switch

Ok thanks. That helps tons. Ive checked the settings for my main PC account (my account), it was allready set to allow friends, multiplayer and clubs. I domt know why i couldnt have friends. So ill have the check again later. Im at work.

So now that i know how to configure the privacy, lets move on.

The next switch, it will not connect to microsoft account. On the switch, i will click "connect with Microsoft account " it gives me link and code. I go to link, type in code, sign in to account. Website says "all done."

Back to switch, i try to connect again and it gives me link and code again.

Thanks for responding Ricardo. I guess I should preface that the windows PC account I was using was a local one, not a microsoft account.

I signed in to the PC with my microsoft account & confirmed that credential manager had no entries. I tried the windows xbox app and got a new error "you'll need the internet for this. 0x800704cf". I restarted the network adapter and the PC and still get this error - I am connected to the internet on a stable connection as well. secondary DNS has been switched to google with no effect.
