Microsoft Temporarily disables Account Renaming feature
A thread in Microsoft community forum says: when you make an effort to change Microsoft email address you’ll get the message “The email address associated with your Microsoft account can’t be changed” .
This issue exists from December 18th where Tommy of Partner, partner technical head for Microsoft says “the rename feature which allows you to change the email address you use to sign into your Microsoft account is currently not available. Our engineering team has identified several issues with rename and has temporarily disabled the feature while they investigate.”
He confirms they’re working on it and you can know the update on it on January 7h of this month.
