    How do I change "gaming account" on Xbox PC app


    I inadvertantly signed into the xbox app with a throwaway account I made just so my friend could play co op games with me on my console. I can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I do. I just want to sign into my account and utilize game pass on my
    new computer, but my real account is only listed as the store account and not the "gaming account."

    I would really appreciate help I've tried everything I could think of.

    :)

    how do I change accounts on the xbox app PC?

    Hello Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To change accounts on the Xbox app on PC, you can try the following steps:



    1. Open the Xbox app on your PC.

    2. Click on your profile picture in the top left corner of the app.

    3. Click on "Sign Out" from the drop-down menu.

    4. Once you have signed out, close the Xbox app completely.

    5. Open the Xbox app again and click on "Sign In" in the top right corner.

    6. Enter the email address and password for the account you want to sign in with.



    If you are still having issues with the app automatically signing you back in, you can try launching the Microsoft Store and signing out your account from there. You should be able to sign out and sign in with a different account. Making sure that the different account should be signed in on Microsoft Store.

    Should you have other clarifications about this matter, you can get back to us by replying to this post.

    Sincerely,

    Issues signing into the app with correct account on Windows 10

    Found an answer to this via this forum post.

    To change the "Store account" you can open up the windows 10 app called "Microsoft store" and sign in to that app with the account that has the game pass subscription.

    Windows can't find the .exe in any installed game

    It is difficult to understand how to troubleshoot your issue based on the details and descriptions you have provided and the various changes that you have made.

    Do you have access to a 2nd PC where you can simply download the Xbox app and login with your account / gamertag and see if you can access a game from Xbox Game Pass on a different PC?

    How do you change your connected accounts in the Xbox Game bar?

    The game bar automatically connected to the incorrect Twitter account. How do I change that? The only option I see in the Game Bar is to manage my twitter account. I don't want to manage my Twitter account, I want to change which account I'm connected to.
    I saw some directions to connect to social media on my console and I connected the correct account there. Will that change automatically make it's way to the Game Bar?
    Hi,

    did you try to change it from the Xbox Companion App on PC?

    In the "Settings" tab you should find the linked social accounts ;)
