[Korea] Critical Login Loop: "Xbox Profile Incomplete" & Age Verification Mismatch for xxxx-born (Adult) Account

Question

(Note: This post was formatted with the assistance of AI (Google Gemini) for structural clarity and translation, but all specific details, error symptoms, and testing results described below are based on my actual experience and facts.)

1. Context & Account Status

Region: South Korea (KR)

Date of Birth: xx xxx, xxxx (Currently 1x years old, legally an adult in Korea)

Account Settings: My Microsoft Account (account.microsoft.com) profile correctly reflects my DOB as xx xx, xxxx, and the region is set to Korea.

2. The Issue I am currently unable to log in to any Xbox services (Web, App, Game Pass) due to a severe authentication loop. Even though I am a legal adult, the system seems to be misidentifying my account status.

Symptoms:

Symptom A (Web/General Login): When attempting to log in, I immediately get the error: "Xbox profile is incomplete." Access is denied before I can even attempt age verification.

Symptom B (Xbox App/Verification Attempt): When I attempt to verify my age via the Xbox App (using PASS/I-PIN mobile verification), even though I successfully verify with my own phone number (registered to the correct DOB: xxxxxx), I get the error: "The birthdate provided does not match the birthdate in your Microsoft account."

3. Troubleshooting Steps Taken I have attempted all client-side resolutions, but the issue persists:

[x] Used InPrivate/Incognito mode and cleared browser cache/cookies.

[x] Reset and reinstalled the Xbox App on PC; rebooted the system.

[x] Left the Microsoft Family Group: I am no longer a member of any family group.

[x] Forced Profile Refresh: I changed my DOB in my MS profile to a different date and changed it back to the correct date (xx xx, xxxx) to force a server-side update.

4. 🚨 CRITICAL FINDING (Suspected System Bug) To isolate the cause, I performed a test by temporarily changing my account's birth year.

Scenario 1 (DOB set to xxxx-1): The system recognizes the account as an adult and initiates the Age Verification process normally.

Scenario 2 (DOB set to xxxx - My actual DOB): The system immediately blocks login with "Xbox profile is incomplete."

Conclusion from test: It appears the Xbox Korea authentication system incorrectly flags xxxx-born users (who are now adults) as "Minors requiring parental consent." However, since I am not in a family group (and am legally an adult), the system cannot find a parent account to grant consent, resulting in the "Profile Incomplete" deadlock.

5. Request for Support I cannot use the standard "Contact Us" support channels because I cannot log in to my main account due to this error.

I urgently request the support team to:

Investigate why xxxx-born accounts in Korea are being flagged as "Profile Incomplete."

Manually synchronize my account status on the server side to reflect that I am an Adult and remove the restriction.
