I have been at this for 4 goddamn months now.

I have tried so far:

  • Adding myself to an xbox family
  • Opening all permissions to everyone/ allowed
  • Signing out of my account, waiting a week then signing back in
  • uninstalling minecraft, signing out of the launcher, uninstalling the minecraft launcher, waiting 2 days, then reinstalling the launcher and signing back into the launcher and installing minecraft's latest version
  • Running base, unmodded minecraft through the forge launcher, prisim, modrinth, GDLauncher, ATLauncher, Badlion, Technic launcher and PolyMC.
  • Removing myself from the xbox family and readding myself as an adult with all permissions, including voice/text chat, multiplayer, realms, ect. set to allowed.
  • Hell I've changed laptops since this started, so it's had the opportunity to try on a completely clean windows 11 pro installation and still didn't work.

I am sick and goddamn tired of having a single support message then being thrown back to the ouroboros AI agents that accomplish about as much as a paralysed, limbless mountain climber.

I want some actual help with this, I have done literally everything I possibly can. I don't want someone to just throw in one of the stupid guides that don't do anything from the help sections, I want actual, human support that's more than a single goddamn email long.

Your software broke, I've done everything in my power to fix it and it's still goddamn broken and it's stayed like that for 4 months.

Now it's your turn to actually do something more than copy paste a standardised soullessly corporate response and move on as if it fixed anything.

    Hello harry grady,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Before we proceed further, may I have a photo of what happened when you try to play online and the settings on the privacy webpage?

    I'm waiting for your reply.
