Devices under Microsoft account disappeared after Windows update

After running the latest Windows update, my two laptops, xbox controllers stopped getting listed under Microsoft account/devices.I tried all the usual methods including a factory reset, but it still does not work. Under Microsoft Store device management, there is a blank entry and it does not let me unlink it.

It looks like that the link between device and Microsoft account is corrupted or there is a sync issue. I contacted Microsoft support but they are not sure why and asked me to wait 30 days to see if the device list will refresh automatically.

    This is true. I too temporarily created a new Microsoft account and my PC showed up again. The BIOS also wouldn't explain why my Android phone and XBOX controller no longer show on the account also.

    I take it nobody has heard anything more from support then?
