    Microsoft Account says my PC is turned off but I'm using it..?


    Ok so my issue is a bit confusing.


    So, I have two Microsoft Accounts: One for xBox and one for PC.


    My PC is connected to Account One (PC) but has also Account Two (xBox) connected.


    In Microsoft Store I signed out of Account One to Account Two so I can use the Xbox Game Pass so I can install games on my PC.


    However, it says I have no compatible devices to install the games on. So, I can the link that sends me to my account on my web browser. Under Devices it shows my PC name but it says the device is turned off. The thing is I'm using that very PC while I'm doing this.


    How can I fix this so I can install games on my PC?

    :)

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
