So today any Game Pass game my wife tried to play got stuck in the “who’s playing” side guide, and after selecting her profile, it prompted back to the same thing over and over.

I tried removing all profiles from the console and adding them back. This console is set to be the “home console”, regardless of my main account being logged in, she played games (GP) without any issues until today.

Also tried canceling auto renewal and re-enabling it, re-adding the profiles, restarting the console. The only thing I didn’t try was to reset everything to factory default.

My subscription is Premium, did something changed to the Premium tier not allowing others to use GP anymore? It is valid and on auto-renewal.

EDIT: I got home and tried on my upstairs console (XSX) which is not set as the home xbox, and it worked (with my profile logged in as well), her profile can boot GP games and play without the endless loop of “who’s playing”. It’s not my GP subscription/internet connection, it’s something in the console most likely…

So I will try resetting the main console to factory default tomorrow and see how it goes.

Planning a trip with my wife, so TL;DR: we’re seniors, September ’27, dividing by “regions”, going counter-clockwise with a rental car and staying at least 2 nights in each “base” (hotels and b&bs), does it look reasonable?

(Well it will actually be 22 days, but saving the last one next to the airport for piece of mind).

The map is just a basic idea on where to stay as we drive southbound the coast then back north passing by Crate Lake then Bend.

We will be skipping major cities (with Bend being the biggest we’d be staying at), with a more relaxed pace and using home bases to visit the surrounding areas. I understand that will be lots of back-and-forth, specially throughout the coast, but we don’t mind — we rather do that then staying at a different hotel every single night. (My wife “needs” a bedroom with a private bathroom at a hotel/b&b, so motorhome and camping is not an option)

Not sure if we should loop Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge staying in Hood River or Government Camp/Mt. Hood Village, any suggestions? (3 nights, with 2 full days and a half to explore)

Any suggestions and inputs are appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: thanks everyone of the opinions, suggestions and insights! We're overwhelmed by the comments and I wish I could answer each and everyone. So to clarify some things:

- Understandably not everyone's taste is the same. We're seniors and like to take our time, travel light and drive to a certain distance before calling it a day. We're more into coastal scenery, nature (rivers, lakes and waterfalls) although we prefer light/short hikes, definitely not into walking downtowns in big cities. We also prefer staying in a hotel or B&B with a private bathroom, so hostels and camping, even though seem easier to find places to hop in and out, are out of the question for now. We're not into vibrant night life either, maybe the occasional gastropub/brewery for a dinner but that's about it.

- No, we would not be staying in Astoria for 3 nights. We would visit it as a day trip (museums, the Astoria Column, the usual Goonies and movies sites, maybe sunset in Peter Iredale's shipwreck, Young's River Falls?), from somewhere along Seaside/Canon Beach area.

- That's just an idea (nothing is set in stone yet), we would find base locations for accommodations, with similar travel time from region to region and then explore the area (yes, we are aware of the back and forth, but also we kinda want to leave our luggage in our staying while doing day trips around and also to enjoy a bit more the places instead of just driving by and keep going without a chance to backtrack something just in case). We wouldn't be "just" staying in the accommodation for 2-3 days, we would make day trips around.

- Most people seem to agree 3 weeks is a lot for a trip like this. But then again, we would be travelling for a whole day (around 24 hours across flights and layovers) to get there, so we wanted to "make it worth" by spending as much time as possible to enjoy (not everything of course) the Oregon State. We've been to California, but never to Oregon. We also don't wanna rush.

- We will reduce our coastal days since it's been suggested a lot, maybe in favor to see the Willamette Valley or to enjoy more of elsewhere. We like relaxing stuff, light hikes, nature and gardens. Wineries are interesting, and breweries for a night out, but we're definitely not into big city vibes.

- That's probably the main reason we would be skipping Portland. We couldn't find much that interests us, we would definitely check out Washington Park, the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and Leach Botanical Garden, but since we plan on visiting in September we're not sure it'd be worth stopping by since most of the blooming will be gone.

- And again thanks everyone for every input. I will try to answer (and maybe ask more questions!) as the comments catch my eyes

EDIT 2: sorry about any typos or grammar errors, English is not my first language

Game Pass stuck on “who’s playing” for my wife’s profile… it started acting this way today, any way to fix it?

21 days in Oregon — suggestions? Is it doable?
