    Why cant i add an account on my xbox


    Ive had to factory reset my xbox in the attempt to be able to sign into my xbox account but this just made it worse.

    When i click "Add new" it brings up the gray loading box for about 5 minutes then goes off and brings up another then goes off again back to the "Add New". Why is this and how do i fix this?

    Ive reset console and done a factory reset and still the problem continues.

    Is there any other way to add an account to my xbox console?

    :)

    You have said that you factory reset the console correct?

    You can try to do a system reinstall.

    For a detailed guide, please use this link: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults

    It's a two-step process using a computer and your console, I highly recommend you use the above link for a better reading experience.

    If you prefer a step-by-step guide here, please, follow these steps:

    ------------------------------------------------
    First Step (On the Computer):
    ------------------------------------------------

    Plug your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

    Select the following link to download the reset file to your compute: https://www.xbox.com/xboxone/restorefactorydefaults

    Select Save to save the console update.zip file to your computer (if it doesn't download automatically).

    To unzip the compressed file, right-click on the file and then select Extract all from the pop-up menu.

    Copy the $SystemUpdate file from the .zip file to your USB flash drive

    ---------------------------------------------------
    Second Step (On your console):
    ---------------------------------------------------

    Unplug the network cable if you're using a wired network connection.

    Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

    Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

    Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your console. For more information, see:

    Press and hold the Pair button (Xbox Series X|S: located on the front next to the USB port) and the Eject button (Xbox Series X: located just above the disk drive slot), and then press the Xbox button on the console.

    Note The Xbox Series S and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition do not have an Eject button. On this console, you only need to hold the Pair button and then press the Xbox button.

    Continue holding the Pair button and Eject button for 10-15 seconds.

    Listen for two "power-up" tones a couple of seconds apart.

    You can release the Pair button and Eject button after the second power-up tone.

    When the console restarts, remove the flash drive.

    Once the console restarts, you should see the digital setup experience to guide you through resetting your console.

    Let me know if it works!

    Hi Riley, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, try power cicling the console.

    To do it, follow these steps:

    Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    Plug the console power cable back in.

    Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    Let me know if it works!
