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.

    The crazy part is you keep refreshing the device page like crazy and the device pops up and gone again. 😂😭

    when i ping microsoft.com it seems like the server is having problems!

    So what does this mean? My personal opinion is that we can't solve this problem. Only Microsoft can solve it themselves
