How do I sign into my microsoft account on minecraft on xbox one

So whenever I log onto Minecraft with my Microsoft account it logs me into Xbox/Microsoft related apps with that account, that’s just a bug? I hope they resolve it or change it in some way so I can login to a different account on Xbox then a different account on Minecraft without having to keep signing in and stuff. Also how do I reinstall the old Minecraft launcher or find it on my pc, I deleted it after installing the new one

I think you misunderstood, my Microsoft account still owns my Minecraft account, however, my Xbox account is also linked to my Microsoft account. Whenever I try to login and access my Minecraft account, it automatically signs me into my Xbox, which does not have the Minecraft account. It's still linked to the email, but my Xbox account is stopping me from getting into the account.

The Microsoft account and Xbox account are one and the same...signing into an Xbox account would be the same as signing into a Microsoft account.....if I go into my Microsoft account history on my PC, it shows my Xbox purchases.

That sounds like you have a second Xbox and/or Microsoft account which is linked to the Minecraft account

I don’t think the issue I’m having is Minecraft’s fault. It’s got to do with the fact that when I login to my Minecraft account through my Microsoft account it signs me into that Microsoft account of other apps such as Xbox and Xbox console companion. That’s what Im having problems with, because I have 2 emails associated with 2 accounts, one being my Minecraft Microsoft account and the other being my Xbox account. This is really frustrating and annoying as whenever I want to open Minecraft whilst I’m using the Xbox app it logs me out of my xbox account and signs me into my Minecraft Microsoft account. Hope I’ve made things clear and I hope they solve this soon

In the YouTube tutorials I have watched there is a sign in button on the bottom left of this screen. However I do not have this option and I can't seem to find a similar option in the settings tab. I have tried the Change User option as well but this only allows me to change the xbox account that I signed in with, not the microsoft account. Below is an example screenshot with the button I'm referring to;

Hello Blaze Steel,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Based on the screenshot provided, you are already signed using the profile that was signed in with the device. The second screenshot is applicable if you have not signed your account. In your case, since you have already signed in your profile to your Xbox Console, your account for Minecraft was automatically linked to the account signed in to your device and you are good to go by clicking Play button, you can start playing Minecraft.

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,
