Xbox developer mode can to activate

Hi there, Nils28!

We would not recommend enabling developer mode on the console, unless you are a developer who is in the process of creating a new application.

Additionally, the developer mode for the Xbox One console would not allow others to install a virus on accounts. We'd recommend reading over the

Developer Mode Activation App FAQ for further clarification in regards to this.

You may gain some insight by taking a look at the following link.

There is a fee involved just so you know.

What if I don't have a Developer Center account?

You must have a Developer Center account before you can activate the Developer Mode Activation App on your console. There is a fee to create your Developer Center account. For more information, go to

dev.windows.com/en-us/registration/AccountInfo to create your Developer Center account.

Hello, from what I researched you can only have a limit of 3 devices. I haven't found anything yet that talks about increasing devices.

Hi there swenyang,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this particular issue. Sorry to hear that you're having difficulty updating the Xbox console you received from your friend. Since you'd like to play it as a retail console, simply restoring the console to factory
defaults will not take it out of developer mode, but you can get it back there if you'd wish to do so, so no worries!

The Developer Mode Activation App FAQ support page can give you the direct information necessary to get
the console back into retail mode in no time. Give the section titled "I sold my Xbox One and left it
in Developer mode. How do I deactivate Developer mode? " a try and the console should restart into retail mode.

I hope that this information helps you out and please let us know the results when you try!

Cheers!
