Windows 10: Unable to change gamertag in Minecraft for Windows 10 Beta

I followed the instruction and successfully changed my gamertag in the Xbox site, but when I start Minecraft for Windows 10, the old, pre-assigned gamertag remains.

I restarted Minecraft several times, and even restarted Windows 10. I logged out of the Xbox account and logged back in. Nothing updated the change in the game.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with Minecraft? Any know solution? I searched all over the internet, and no one else seems to be stuck like me.

Can I cancel gamertag name change?

Hi! I changed my gamertag name and didn't realize I wouldn't be able to access stuff like Minecraft that was under my old name. Is there a way to cancel the gamertag name change?

Can't Change Xbox Gamertag Once For Free?

I'm having trouble with changing my gamertag; the problem started when I made a suggestion on the Minecraft Windows 10 BETA site and realised that it was using my "old" username, despite the only name I've ever associated Minecraft with is my new one, I
asked support if they could change it and they directed me to the Xbox gametag page telling me it can be changed once for free, this was strengthened as it said the same thing on the page; after accidentally updating my security info thinking I was doing something
else and having to wait a month, I was finally able to change my gamertag.

Now I tried changing it and it's asking me for my credit card details saying it'll be charged immediately with no refunds, but I've never changed my username before, this should be the first "free" time.

Any ideas?

(Changing it via PC as I don't have a console anymore)

 

After trying everything that I could think of, the gamertag magically changed on its own thirty minutes later.

It turned out that all I needed to do is to be patient and allow the database to update itself.
