  1. Windows 10 Xbox app will not let me send messages. Help!


    Hello, I've been experiencing an issue with the Windows 10 Xbox app where it will no longer allow me to read or send messages through it. I've tried multiple methods to attempt to remedy this and have even done a step by step with a support team member.
    He said he'd contact me again in up to 78hrs after we failed to fix the problem. The support member never contacted me again. Does anyone know how to get my messaging to work again?

    :)

    The codes are usually send as a message to your Xbox, check your messages in the Xbox App on windows 10, or on your Xbox.

  9. As for what has been done. I've done nearly everything I could think of from deleting and reinstalling the app to running repair through "run".

    I have singed in and out multiple times to try and make it work.

  14. Very sorry for the long time between responses, had gotten sick and couldn't do anything for awhile.

    I've tried this method and still cannot send messages or view them. Nothing really seems to work. I did do a step by step with a support member, who told me he would re-contact me in under 2 days. He never did, so I assume they exhausted all reasonable solutions.
    This is really bothersome as I used the Xbox app on my PC quite frequently.
