    Xbox Rewards app will not open, says to update location


    A few months back my rewards app started to ask me to update location, even though all the system settings were correct for my location of the UK

    I would just ignore this and open the app agaian amd it would always work the second time.

    But 3 weeks ago the app stopped opening completely, every time i open the app it says to update location settings

    I have tried uninstalling the app and re installing it, i have also double checked that under my privacy settings the location services are turned on

    I have reset my console

    Yet still nothing works

    Has anyone a solution to my problem

    :)

    Hi thanks for the help

    Unfortunately none of these processes repaired the problem.

    Hi, could be a temporary issue with your router.

    May I know if you tried disconnecting it from wall for about 1 minutes. Then connect it and when everything's up and running give it a new try.

    If maybe that doesn't work, you can try calling your ISP (internet service provider) and ask them to assign you a different IP address for your router

    Or if you don't mind, factory reset your router before that and try again (your wifi SSID and password are going to go back to default)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Iandaw

    Please try this, all together :
    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
    2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
    Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
    3. Plug the console power cable back in.
    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

    In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

    Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, try again

    -----
    If that doesn't work do this:
    go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings

    Once you’re inside the Advanced Settings menu, go to DNS settings and select Manual from the list of available options.
    When you get to the next screen, enter 8.8.8.8 in the box associated with the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 in the Secondary DNS box.

    Once the default DNS addresses have been changed, restart your console and see if the issue has been resolved at the next console startup.
    (If that doesn't work use instead 1.1.1.1 as primary and 1.0.0.1 as secondary)

    Let me know how it goes with each one

    Sorry to hear that, may I know if you can try using a different wifi network?

    For example share mobile data via wifi hotspot temporarily and connect your console in that way to access the app
