help! I bought a game from microsoft store using my account but my son can't see it in his ...

In order to buy it for his account, you would have had to sign in on his account. If you're using an Xbox One, you would set his console as your Home console and he would be able to access the game. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Does he have a separate account from yours? If so make sure to add him to your family of accounts here.

Thank you for your reply.

To answer your question, my son has a separate user there on the PC.

I've actually already done what you suggested:

While logged in to the PC with my son's user, I signed-in with my account on the Microsoft store app. I downloaded the desired games and then signed in with my son's account. This allowed my son to play the games.

However, this does not solve the problem. Your suggestion allows my son to play the games I purchased, but severely compromises MY microsoft account.

After I've signed in to the microsoft store using my account, even if I sign-in again using my son's account...

1. My son can always switch back to my account on the Microsoft store app. He will not be required to enter my password or PIN (which he does not know of course) - he will only be asked to enter his own PIN (which is very weird). This means my son could gain access to my microsoft store account and purchase more games and apps without requiring my approval.

2. What is even worse, is that when I logged in to the microsoft store using my account... Then MY microsoft account was added to the list of my son's accounts. That is, when my son is logged on to the PC, under settings-->accounts-->Email & accounts, under "Accounts used by other apps", I could see my account listed.

This allowed my son to access any app or website that uses my microsoft account. For example, on the Edge browser, my son could now log in to my account and see my bookmarks and history.

So I needed to remove my account from "accounts used by other apps" - which caused the games to stop working again on his account...

There has to be a legitimate way to share the game without compromising the parent's Microsoft account!

Hi Ezra,

Thanks for your answer, i asked the refund.

But after, how can i refund my money from the microsoft account.

I Bought XBOX and windows carte for my son "Marius" to put money on his microsoft account to buy Vbucks.

Now i know it's not possible to buy Vbucks for windows, from the microsoft store, how can i refund my money from microsoft account.

Because my son is very disappointed

We understand that the two accounts can not be linked. My son has set up the PC with his personal Microsoft account. But I have bought the game through Mojaang via my personal Microsoft account. It is however asking us to log into the store with a business or school account. I was hoping to link Minecraft with my business account instead of my personal account and make it work that way around.
