Unable to reschedule/cancel/take exam - stuck in register loop

Attempting to reschedule my exam, and I am unable to proceed. When I click the link in the credentials > certifications section, I am constantly redirected to this page. I proceed through the profile setup, but am always returned to this page even if I try to click the cancel button or the take exam button.



I have tried a private window, deleting cache and cookies. I even tried using a different workstation and OS. This seems to be an issue on Microsoft's side. Please let me know steps for remediation of this issue, as my test is scheduled for the 27th, but due to scheduling conflicts, I will not be able to make it. I do not believe I could take the test anyway currently as even the take test button redirects me to "Register my profile" even though I have gone through the prompts numerous times.

Did anyone get any feedback for this question?

No, not yet, I ended up cancelling the exam using pearson vue's support number on their site. I called in and they answered the phone in about 30 seconds.
I have another Microsoft account that I am able to interact with without being redirected to that register profile loop, at least it lets me interact with Microsoft Learn resources and doesn't redirect me like the current one I created for my test.

I am going to try schedule using that account, we will see if it breaks after I get the exam tied to the account. From reading this forum I see a lot of people have been having this issue for a few months, not sure why it is not resolved, and do not see any helpful replies.. but that is pretty standard for Microsoft.

Hi Michael,


Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you're experiencing with the account issue that causes a loop back to the registration page when trying to reschedule the exam. I recognize the importance of a seamless process for rescheduling your exam, as we value your time. Rest assured, now that I am aware of the problem, I will address it with diligence.

I appreciate you performing troubleshooting steps to resolve the error. Since you have cancelled the exam already through Pearson Vue and if in case you plan to schedule an exam in the future and still encounter the same issue, kindly provide a step-by-step recording using Problem Steps Recorder (PSR) throughout the entire process, starting from the sign-in page up until the last page that shows you're unable to proceed along with the requested information in the private message I have initiated. This will enable me to locate your account and provide you with an option on how you can schedule your exam.

If you are an ESI learner who has taken advantage of a company discount for the exam and need urgent help with scheduling, I strongly recommend contacting the ESI support team (refer to the private message for their contact information) as they address issues specific to ESI learners. Otherwise, please contact  Pearson Vue directly, as they have immediate access to your exam appointments and have the visibility on the available seat allocation for the test.

They typically respond within 3-5 business days. Once contacted and you require additional support, please send me the case Id through the private message so we track the case on your behalf.

Should you have any questions or clarifications, please feel free to reach out.

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after two business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hey Aileen,

Thanks for the response, I know you have a format and troubleshooting steps to follow, but at this point this should be a known issue to your team. I see many of this same issue on this forum. Do you have an idea on what is needed to resolve it in general?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello,

take a look at this thread:

I followed the steps written by the author of this thread and was able to successfully reschedule my exam, previously being stuck in a login loop too.

"I resolved this problem and was able to reschedule my exam. When I changed my "display name" in settings it redirected me to the correct page. I have a long name with surname, firstname, middle name and last name and the display name was included the whole name and once I changed it in to only my firstname and lastname and went to the link, It redirected me to the rescheduling page. Thank you."

Best regards,

Bartosz

Hi Michael,

Wishing you all the best!

As my colleague @Aileen_A02 is out of the office, I will be providing assistance on her behalf. Please be advised that our team have found a workaround regarding the looping issue, kindly try to edit your Display name under Microsoft Learn > Profile > Personal info, username, and URL > Display name, add any number or letter from the display name and click save then try again to see if the looping issue persists.

In any case, please share the PSR recording, and we will have this investigated further.

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after two business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through private message. Thank you.
