Cannot Sign Out of Xbox Account (Windows 8.1)

Brit4Braz · Apr 3, 2017

I have Windows 8.1 and I want to sign out of my Xbox account in the games app. When I go to the games app, go to settings, and then click account, there is no sign out option.

I want to sign into another account, so does anyone know how I would be able to sign out of my account?

Xbox One can run Windows 8.1's new universal apps

CAN run. CAN. Not "will."
PLEASE don't everyone totally freak out about this. Understand that there is a "Universal apps" thing Microsoft is working on, to make it easy to develop apps that run across Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and Xbox One.
I cannot stress this enough: This does NOT mean that all those apps in the Windows Store will suddenly show up on your Xbox One.
What this does mean is that developers will be able to deploy an app to Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox from a common code base. They'll have to make the interface different for the phone (portrait), windows (landscape), and TV (10-foot UI). They'll have to account for controllers and Kinect.

Hey there Brit4Braz.

Are you using your Microsoft Account to sign into Windows 8? If so, you'll need to switch the account you use there to sign in. If you search for Account from the Start Bar, you should be able to switch to a different account or non-MSA.

It's probably easier to just sign out on Windows 8.1 and log back in there with the same Microsoft Account you use on Xbox 360, if all you want to do is access Smartglass.

I am having the exact same problem! Updated to Windows 8.1 and now I cannot sign into my xbox live account OR the entire computer freezes when trying to go to games or any microsoft game. I am starting to wonder if this is a new update bug that needs to
be fixed or something!!

Hi Helen, I am having a similar problem, can sign into xbox.com and also ok with mahjong and solitaire but taptiles knocks it all out and cannot open the store at all for the update. Maybe a stand alone update for taptiles might fix it. I also have windows
8.1.
