    I need to sever game name from email name

    I got An Xbox and set up an avatar name and account. Later, I upgraded my Xbox and went for Xbox gold, too. I thought that I was offered a change in avatar name, so I put in a new name. To my surprise, this name is being used by my Microsoft email account.
    The name is completely inappropriate, of course, for email purposes, but I don't know how to get rid of it. The account kept the original profile name, and assigned the second one I chose, to attach to my email. Very embarrassing. Have looked everywhere
    for an answer/option to change it out, but cannot. Please HELLLLLPPPPPP!

    Another persons name, but my profile is fine??

    adambsmith86 is the wrong name (which I've just found out is called my gamertag). All I want to do is change my gamertag so it's my name not adam smith's, but it looks like the site doesn't let you. It just gives instructions on how to change it on your
    xbox, but I don't HAVE an xbox! This information is also used by Windows Live, but you can't change it under Windows!!

    We don't have similar names or emails, I don't know how it seems to have its wires crossed. Unless he's added a keyboard logger or something.

    What the HELL??? Microsoft charge you MONEY to change your NAME on your OWN FRIGGING PROFILE??

    6 years gold to 5???

    Hey, I deleted my profile only, (kept items) then cleared the system cache and then recovered profile to HDD. Incidentally my profile is still only showing as 5 years not 6. Just seems weird how it changed to 6 on 3rd November this year (like it changes
    on 3rd November every year) and has now reverted! Very odd :-/

    Tv app audio stopped working, internets don't fail me now

    That is very odd. Nolti, you changed HDMI cables, I know older HDMI cables (1.1) don't have audio pins. The other thing is what is you layout, to and from the Xbox One?

    Final fantasy 13 problem

    Hey Handy, very odd indeed! Even though the issue seems to be limited to FF13 at the moment, can you please try re-downloading your profile by selecting the 'download profile' option in the sign-in menu? Please let me know how it goes! :)
