I'm having a Microsoft account linking problem with Minecraft Dungeons II on PC (Steam), error code 0072. The error says: “Linking account failed. Looks like the Microsoft account you are trying to use is already connected. Please go to the settings and sign in with a Microsoft account that is not already linked. Error code: 0072.” The confusing part is that Dungeons II on PC says “No account linked” in the settings. When I try to link my Microsoft account, however, I get the 0072 error saying that the account is already connected. My Microsoft account is currently correctly linked to Dungeons II on my Nintendo Switch 2. My existing hero/character is there, and I want to access the same progression on PC. I have tested the following: My Microsoft account works normally in the Xbox app. Dungeons II on my Switch 2 shows my Microsoft account as linked. I removed the Xbox/Microsoft credentials from Windows Credential Manager. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Dungeons II on PC. I cleared the relevant local Dungeons II data/cache. I tried linking my Microsoft account again, but still receive error 0072. I tested a completely different Microsoft account on the same PC. That account successfully linked to Dungeons II. I then unlinked that test account and tried my normal Microsoft account again, but 0072 returned. Therefore, the PC installation and Microsoft/Xbox authentication appear to be working; the problem seems specific to the association of my Microsoft account with Dungeons II. There is also some relevant Steam purchase history: I originally purchased Dungeons II on a different Steam account and used it to test the game and its performance. I then refunded that purchase. I never uninstalled or deleted Dungeons II after the refund. The game remained installed on my PC. I subsequently purchased Dungeons II on my main Steam account. It was after this second purchase that I began experiencing the account-linking problems described above. The Steam account itself was not linked to my Microsoft account through the Xbox account settings. At this point, I suspect there may be a stale or incorrect Dungeons II account/platform association on the backend. The fact that my Microsoft account is correctly linked to Dungeons II on Switch 2, while the PC version says “No account linked” but simultaneously reports that the Microsoft account is “already connected,” seems particularly relevant. Could you please check the Dungeons II account association on the backend and determine what is preventing my Microsoft account from being linked to the PC version? Please do not remove or reset the existing Microsoft account ↔ Nintendo Switch 2 association, as that is where my existing Dungeons II hero/progression is currently accessible. I would specifically like the stale/incorrect association causing error 0072 to be cleared or corrected so that I can link the same Microsoft account to Dungeons II on PC.   submitted by   /u/MinerBruh   to   r/MinecraftDungeons_2 [link]   [comments]
