Is the root site a communications site and you haven't associated the root site with a Hub?

I think the problem is that the root site is not a Communication Site...you have modernized it for sure, but it's not a communication site behind the scenes

@Juan Carlos González Martín So Enable-SPOCommsite was not good enough?

SolutionLooks like the underlying SharePoint admin API does not like that it's a hub site.
After de-registering as hub, the root site can be set.

The Home site has been set to https://tenant.sharepoint.com. It may take some time for the change to apply. Ch...
Can't see any update to my SharePoint mobile app yet. (UPDATE: It appears now.)
Quite frankly though, I cannot fathom the reason why a hub site cannot be set as a home site.

@icelava I have the same situation - my root site is a HUB and I want to use it as a HomeSite.
So can you register your HomeSite back to be a HUB after you have set it up to be HomeSite?

@MarinBuric You have to do like I did; de-register the root site as a hub first, then run the cmdlet to register it as the home site. You can re-add the hub later.
