I've created an account on the Microsoft partner center.

I have downloaded the activate Dev mode app on my Xbox Series S and it has generated a 6 digit code. I am told to go to https://aka.ms/activatexbox but when I click on it there is no option to enter the code.

Can anyone help

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Have you tried to use the hidden developer settings menu to active the Dev Mode? To access the hidden menu go to Settings > System > Console Info > Press LB RB LT RT > Developer Settings > Developer Mode.

    You could refer to @Squarebananas 's reply here: almost there trying activate dev console.

    Thank you.

    Also had this issue. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devkit-activation
    Follow the instructions on the link. My xbox also got stuck at an unavailable update for dev mode activation at the last step. Simple work around. Go to settings/ console/ press rt lt rb lb all at once to bring up developer options.
