Achievement problems between steam/xbox accounts: Re-earning achievements

Game Version:
101.101.56005.0.7694700
Steam
I am now in the same boat after getting the DLC on steam and an update on Dec 31st. I was working on DesertRose and had finished the William Wallace and Joan of Arc Campaigns and started Barbarosa. I got the Teutonics Victory, Furor Teutonicus, Losing Your Religion, Pleasant Peasant and Castle Crusher all in Steam, but no go in XBOX. I switched over to Leawildcat and backed up to try for Joan. Did the first 2 campaigns and got the Steam Achievements but nada in XBOX. I checked all the services and the XBOX server and neither of those worked. I’ll try with game pass, plus clearing all my caches and resetting the MS store. Sometimes that works with AOEDE.

BTW, I stumbled on to a fix that shut off a service for XBOX Live. Do the following to see if that helps any of you.

  1. Type services.msc in the search bar and select ‘run as administrator’
  2. Find ‘Connected Devices Platform’ and right click, selecting properties
  3. Changing the startup type from ‘disabled’ to ‘Automatic (Delayed Start)’ and then start the service
  4. Sign out of MS Store, Steam, XBOX Live, and XBOX Console.
  5. Reboot and sign back in in this order MS Store, XBOX Console, XBOX Live, and Steam.

When I did this all of my notifications went bizarre, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me this time. Since everything was just hunky dory before gettin the dlc and update in the same day, I suspect it was on of those. I am going to try the game pass and see what happens and I’ll also see if unistalling the dlc’s will fix it. At least I will be able to isolate it.
