Can't sign in on main account kids account can though

I have an issue with not being able to sign into my account on my xbox one.

My kids can sign into thiers

I've checked the network settings and the network is live and good on my kids account as well.

I get no error message, just a quick fade like it's going to sign in then right back to not signed in.

Help!

Store bought games not playing

Make sure your kids account has your Xbox as it's Home xbox. If you don't want to make it his home xbox, you can sign into both accounts at the same time, even in single player games.

 

2 Xbox ONE consoles in one house. How do I buy games for both consoles and with out buying 2 disk?

I found a workaround that lets my kids use my games on their Xbox, while I can still play the same games on my Xbox, even play Halo 5 Co-op with my kids on their Xbox (1 kid at a time for Halo 5, both kids for Halo 1-4), and me on my Xbox. Note, I have the only Live Gold account in our household. It's not the preferred solution for this (Yo, Microsoft, Family Gold Subscription, please!), however it works very well for 2 Xbox One consoles. Here's what I had to do...

(My Xbox)
1. Settings - Personalization - My home Xbox
- I removed my Live Gold account from "My home Xbox", leaving no account set for this.
2. Settings - Account - Sign-in, security & passkey
- Set my Live Gold account for "Instant sign-in"
3. Settings - Power & Startup - Turn off or restart - Restart now
- Rebooted Xbox for settings to take effect.

(Kids' Xbox)
I have my Gold account and the regular accounts for my wife and kids set up to login.
1. Settings - Personalization - My home Xbox
- Using my Gold account, I selected "Make this my home Xbox"
2. Settings - Account - Sign-in, security & passkey
- I set one of my kids' accounts for "Instant sign-in".
3. Settings - Power & Startup - Turn off or restart - Restart now
- Rebooted Xbox for settings to take effect.

My Xbox now has no account set with "My home Xbox", but since it has my Gold account set for Instant sign-in, it will still automatically have access to the games, movies, and other content. However, it won't automatically install purchased games, but that is easily remedied by accessing "My games & apps" from the Xbox home screen, where I will see newly purchased games under the "Ready to Install" section where I can easily install them.

A Live Gold account can only have one Xbox selected as its "home Xbox", however, on that home Xbox, all other accounts that sign-in will have access to the content purchased by the Gold account. This is what allows my kids to access my Gold account content on their Xbox. In addition to the "home Xbox", any purchases made by a Gold account will follow that account to any "non-home Xbox" where the account is logged-in. Since my account is still set for "Instant sign-in" on my Xbox, my purchases are always available, unless I log out. Other people can still login to my Xbox and use the content I have purchased, as long as my Gold account stays logged in, too. If, for some reason, I login on my Kids' Xbox, it will log me out on my Xbox, but I just log back in when I am done playing with my kids on their Xbox. This let's me play Halo 5 Guardians in Co-op mode with me logged in on my Xbox, and one of my kids logged in on their Xbox, which has access to my Gold account content, because that is my "Home Xbox". So far, I have not encountered any complications with this setup. If I do, I will amend my post here.

Good luck! I still have not found a way to share content across three Xbox consoles simultaneously, however, this does work for two consoles, even if they are not in the same location. I have also been told that some cablemodems and broadband routers may have trouble with two Xbox consoles accessing Xbox Live games simultaneously from the same residence, but I have Comcast Xfinity Internet service using the WiFi gateway they provided (Cisco DPC3941T wireless gateway/router), and I have not had any trouble playing Xbox Live games on both consoles at the same time.
