    Xbox says I switched home xbox 5 times this year when I only used one switch


    I was trying to change my home xbox from my family xbox to my own, when I made the family xbox my home xbox, afterward it said I had 4 switches left, now when I tried to change it now, it said I changed it 5 times this year. There is little to no help for this, and it is a tad bit frustrating, if I could get some help that would be great.

    Things to note:

    I am the only one who uses my account. The home xbox never changed from that xbox without me knowing, because how would it change back? I only changed it to that xbox, I never changed it to any other xbox after I made the family xbox my home xbox, after I made the family xbox my family xbox, I had 4 switches left.

    :)

    Xbox says I switched home xbox 5 times this year when I only used one switch

    Hello there!

    I am very sorry to know you are having such inconveniences, regarding your issue unfortunately there is not much we can do. When you are on the Xbox signed with your account and it says there no more switches, it means that the switches have indeed been used by someone, and you will need to wait until you can get them back.

    how do i get more xbox home switches

    Hi Deangelo,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums I'd be happy to answer that.

    You can change which console is your
    home Xbox
    up to five times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you switch your home Xbox for the first time. If you reach your limit of home console switches for the year, you’ll get a message letting you
    know the next available date you can change it.

    Note Customer support cannot offer additional switches. If your console shows you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select
    Help when you see the message, Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception.

    You can also get help with your home Xbox in Xbox Assist. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, select
    System > Xbox Assist, choose My Xbox Assist >
    Search, and then enter My Home Xbox.
    I understand that you only have 5 switched per year. I just received my 5 switches back June17, 2019 now only a few of my friends have my account but on my account this year i’ve only switched 3 times, but it says i’ve switched 5 times when i didn’t. Is there
    anyway that i can get 2 switches back or anyway i can get a refund or something?

    help!!!!!!!!!

    You can only use the Home Xbox feature on one colsole at a time. You get 5 times to switch a year, after that you have to the until the first day of the next year.

    'Unable to save changes' home xbox issue

    Hi good day

    Have you already used your 5 times in a year?

    Note You can have only one home Xbox at a time. You can share purchased games and Gold with others only on your home Xbox. You get 5 switches per year. Customer support cannot offer additional switches.

    Maybe I will not leave you for the alert that is there now

    I have changed my home xbox 3 times and they are saying 5 more than once

    I didn't say that you're lying, ToddBergwitz. When you accidentally switch it on a different Xbox console 1 switch will be used for that. We can only set our account as Home Xbox to one device at a time.
