 Description   

so I just recently got the free minecraft windows 10 edition beta and an xbox account, as I was creating an xbox account it gave me a gamertag of diligenttea1464, I didn't really like it so I went to the xbox app and changed it but on minecraft it still shows up as dilligenttea1464 I tried re-installing but it wont work I'm guessing its a bug so I'm reporting it here.

This ticket has been resolved as 'Cannot Reproduce' as it has not been updated recently (1 year+)

So, yes or no?

An update of the Xbox app, or Windows 10 Minecraft? I can't update the Xbox app, and I'm assuming you mean Minecraft. I'll check for the update, then. My username is still GrubbyMicrobe57.

Edit: Yay! I can change it! But it stopped me before I typed the last 3 letters... Uh oh.

Another edit: Great. Now I'm stuck missing the last 3 characters of my name.

Yet another edit: Ok, it didn't change at all.

Does this bug still appear in 0.13.1? If so please respond.

I have Windows 10 version, and it gave me the username GrubbyMicrobe57. The Xbox app won't open, and the site to change the username says, "Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened. It appears you've found a glitch in the system. Please try again later." (The site is https://account.xbox.com/en-US/ChangeGamertag)
I don't like this username, and I don't think my PC user is taken (although on one PC server I found a user "Person_Is_Cool39", so I'm a little worried xD)
This is annoying, I have two methods to change my username and neither of them work!

Edit: In case you need to know, I'm using a Lenovo Flex 3-1580.

Confirmed on Asus B121 Win10 Tablet running MCPE 0.12.2 and XBox Live 8.8.15003.00000. Changing my gamertag does not change my MCPE Win 10 player name. I see no way to change the MCPE Win 10 player name. Gamertag updated when I reset my tablet, otherwise I could find no way to make this happen.

Have you tried going into Options in the game and changing the player name? That does the trick in every other version. I don't yet have a Win10 device, so I'm behind on my MCWin10 testing
