    How do I sign out of a Microsoft account on the Minecraft launcher only?


    Okay so I guess I kind of did this to myself? I tried to install Minecraft on my PC (windows 11) because it got gifted to me, I installed the Minecraft launcher and tried to sign into the account that has Minecraft redeemed and it automatically signed me into a very old account on the launcher which I can't sign out of because it doesn't let me get past the "you don't own Minecraft" screen, there's no button or option to sign out of that account in the launcher itself, and signing in on the Minecraft site doesn't change anything at all. If there is an option or something that I'm not seeing in the launcher itself then please tell me thank you!

    :)

    cant switch accounts in minecraft

    Hello,

    If you have the Xbox App, sign out first at the Microsoft Store App and sign in with the account you wish to play with. Then do the same on the Xbox App, completely sign out, then sign in with the account you wish you with to play with. Then in the Minecraft Launcher sign out completely then attempt to log back in with your Microsoft Account. Let me know if you're still having issues, we can try something else.

    Is your inability to sign out at the Minecraft Launcher?

    Thank you,

    XBF John

    Please help, thanks!

    My Minecraft launcher shows no connection to the Internet

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft launcher shows no connection to the Internet.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    First is to verify your account owns minecraft. Please make sure that you are signed into the Microsoft account you used to purchase Minecraft. You can check your purchase history on the Microsoft Account Services page: https://account.microsoft.com/services to verify that the game is listed.

    Once verified that you owned the game, please restart your modem/router in order for the device network to refresh.

    And then sign out and sign in. Kindly sign out of your Microsoft account in the Minecraft launcher.

    Close the launcher completely.

    Sign back in with your Microsoft account and check if the game is recognized.

    Next is clear your Minecraft launcher cache because this can help resolve any corrupted files that might be causing the issue.

    Then uninstall the Minecraft launcher and reinstall it from the official Minecraft website. This will help resolve issues with the launcher.

    I hope that this will help you have a working Minecraft Launcher.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Minecraft launcher, sign-in with a new account

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into your Minecraft account via launcher.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Make sure that the password of your Minecraft account is correct to be able to sign in successfully. Or you can also reset the password of the account before signing in.

    Please update the launcher. Make sure that your Minecraft launcher is updated to the latest version. Open the Xbox app, locate the Minecraft launcher, and check for updates.

    And then clear account cache. To do this, open the Minecraft launcher, log out of all accounts, and clear the account cache because this can help reset the sign-in process.

    Next is to reset the Microsoft Store by pressing Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.

    Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.

    Then repair or reset the Launcher. Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & Features."

    Locate the Minecraft launcher, select "Advanced Options," and choose "Repair".

    After that is to sign in via Xbox App. Kindly sign into your Microsoft account through the Xbox app first, then launch Minecraft

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    I've bought "Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC" but I can't play Java Edition. I can only play Bedrock Edition

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that on PC, the family group is to manage a child's account settings, it's not for game sharing. I would like to clarify, did you purchase the game on your account? If yes, make sure that you're signed in under the correct Microsoft account on the Minecraft launcher.

    Sign out and sign back in on the Minecraft launcher.
    hi

    I purchased the game on my account. My parent consented to the purchase the game. I'm still able to launch only Demo version on Java edition. I signed out/in Minecraft launcher several times and it didn't help.
