Minecraft: How to Fix “Oops your Microsoft Account Was Disconnected” Error
If you’re experiencing this issue, there are a few things you’ll need to troubleshoot to determine the problem.
Console Fix
If you’re playing Minecraft on an Xbox console, use the following steps
- Go to your Xbox Settings, click on “Network Settings,” then “Advanced Settings,” then “Alternate Mac Address.”
- From there, clear it, and the console will restart.
- Restart Your Router after doing this.
If this does not work, you will need to reset the Xbox by following these steps.
- Settings
- System
- Console Info
- Reset this Xbox
- “Keep my Games and Apps”
This will unlink your Microsoft account, so you’ll need to type in your information upon rebooting the console.
If you’re playing on a Nintendo Switch or PlayStation console, a disconnect from the Microsoft account can indicate a problem on Microsoft’s end. However, a full system reset should fix the problem.
