    Account name

    Hi there,

    I've tried numerous times to change my display name to my new one. It sometimes works for a little while but then changes back to my old name. When I go on to the "Edit name" section of the microsoft account, it has my new name in the input box so I can't
    change it! It then just has my old name!

    Please help!
