  1. Downloaded Minecraft on one Windows user account and now can't access it on another user...


    A few weeks ago I downloaded Minecraft Java edition to my laptop; it had previously been on an old laptop that no longer works. I downloaded using my Microsoft account (after migrating from a Mojang account). I installed it on an administrator account on my PC since I thought that would be required. But I want my son to play it from a non-administrator PC account, so I can control his ability to download things, etc. However, since I downloaded it on the administrator account, he cant access it from his account.

    I attempted to download it from his account, but it said I needed to buy it (screenshot below). How can I transfer it to his PC account (on the same computer) so he can play it? This is the sole reason it's on the computer, so it's currently useless to us.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Michael

    Even if the game is installed in the same computer, you need to sign on both Microsoft Store and Xbox PC app with the account that owns the game on the non-administrator account, due to game license is attached to it

    If you have further questions let me know

    How to install and play Minecraft on second Windows account

    Hello, Razor7001. Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Community expert user. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    In this step by step guide you can learn how to play Minecraft on Windows using two different accounts:

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    Basically you'll just have to create another Windows user to install and play Minecraft with your second account. And of course, you'll need two different Microsoft Accounts with one purchase of Minecraft each.

    On the steps you mentioned, I believe you tried to do it with the same Microsoft/Xbox account, right?

    This is a public user-to-user support forum. We are expert users helping other users. We do not work for Microsoft and do not have access to any user accounts.

    If this still can't solve your problem, just let me know and I'll do my best to try to help you.

    Another user access my account. Hack ?

    Hello,

    Only one email can be associated with one gamertag. This essentially means that the gamertag you are currently using is definitely not using the same email as the one you are receiving the new account notification e-mail on. It's possible that this person entered
    in an their own email address incorrectly when making the account and there's really not much you can do when something like that happens.

    If your account was compromised in some way, they would have changed your password, but I do know that email providers such as Google and Yahoo have logs of who's logged into your account from what locations so if you do see some unusual activity you should
    definitely change your passwords to stay safe.

    These e-mails are always sent from either an @Microsoft.com email or @Xbox.com email. If it's from a different type of email it's quite possible that it's a phishing attempt and I would definitely steer away from clicking any sort of links inside of that email.

    "It is possible that someone is using my email account to try my hacker?"

    Sorry, this is correct

    It is possible that someone is using my email account to try hack my account?

    You could just make a tag for that e-mail and any content going to that e-mail can be filtered to your spam folder. Other than that you wouldn't really be able to do anything about it. Since the account isn't yours nothing more we would be able to do. Your
    account should be perfectly fine and safe.
