Managing personal Outlook.com account settings, security, and privacy
Hi K C
Please note that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.
I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. Based on the information provided, it appears there may be a discrepancy between the account you recovered and the account that was originally used for your Microsoft Store and Xbox purchases.
Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. Our role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas only.
Please take these steps:
- Secure the account first by changing the password, reviewing recent sign-in activity, and removing any unfamiliar security information or devices. Follow Microsoft’s official guidance here: Recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account.
- Check Microsoft Store order history and make sure you are signed in to the exact Microsoft account that was used for the purchases. Expand the date range under Payment & billing > Order history
- Do not remove the remaining Xbox profile from the console yet. Keep a record of the original gamertag, the unfamiliar profile name, the console serial number or hardware ID, previous account aliases, purchase receipts, order numbers, and payment evidence.
- Contact Microsoft Support and explain that the account may have been compromised, the sign-in alias may have been changed, and the recovered account no longer shows your Microsoft Store or Xbox purchases. Ask them to verify whether you recovered a different Microsoft identity or whether the original account’s sign-in information was changed.
