My son now lives in a different location to his father. Every time my son switches on the xbox one it automatically logs in to his dads profile so he then has to switch profiles to his own. If my son happens to fire up the xbox after his dad then it logs
his dad out which is awkward as they are not in the same house anymore!

I'd like my son to be able to go straight into his own profile without having to go through his dads. And can he come off his dads gold pass and I buy him his own pass, is his history stored under his dads or his own nametag?

I am a complete novice on this but do know if I lose all my sons history he will not be happy with me at all!!

If he has a account that is connected to a family account and they control his account preferences and game content he can play that may be the problem

Hi there,

any history is linked to the account used, so if your son used his own account to play games, that history is under his account. Same for games purchased etc, a purchase is linked to the account that purchased the item. If the content was purchase via the
dad's profile then access can be lost if his dad changes the Home console. Via the Home console Gold and Games can be shared to other profiles, for more information how Home console settings works see this link:

https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Regarding the auto sign in, via this link you should be able to change what account(s) will automatically sign in to the console on start up:

https://support.xbox.com/my-account/manage-account/change-signin-preferences

If you yourself got a profile too and if you are not in the same 'Family' yet, then it might be useful to do that too, as a parental account in a family you should be able to control what and what not your son's account can do. See this link for more information
regarding Family settings etc: https://support.xbox.com/browse/xbox-one/security/Xbox One family

Hey there Powder35.

This page
HERE will help you achieve this. To change the email address that is associated with your gamer tag (the one you use to sign in with), go to that page and drop down to the section titled;

"Can I switch my gamertag to a different Microsoft account?". That page also tells you how to change your passwords and such, so you may want to bookmark it for future use.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks,
