    Why is my gamertag not updating?

    On top of this, when I go to try and exchange my gamertag again, it has my old one. When I click the Xbox logo in the top left, it resets the page and has my new gamertag for a second then goes back to my old one. When I try to change to my new gamertag it then wants me to pay for it. What do I do?

    Hi Gamer

    It can take a few hours to update

    Also, try logging out of your account, restart the console and sign back in

    If that does not work, remove your account from your console, restart and then add your account again
