My paid individual developer account has been active and functioning normally for years. However, recently , my console suddenly lost authorization and throws Error 0x8015963D.

In the Partner Center dashboard under "Xbox development consoles," the system displays "no records to display." When I attempt to use the Dev Mode Activation app on the console to generate a new link code, it is completely frozen on "The device is being processed". Attempting to force activation via the hidden developer settings menu throws the authorization error.

I have already attempted deep power cycles, clearing network configurations, and local cache refreshes to no avail. This is an orphaned provisioning loop on the server backend.

Please escalate this to the Windows & Xbox Developer Program team to manually clear my hardware ID registry and restore activation access.
