    How to switch Xbox account on Windows 11


    I recently just got a new gaming laptop and want to enjoy playing xbox games on it. My father has xbox gamepass ultimate and I want to use his account for the xbox app so I can play games. I try switching accounts by logging off then logging in again, but when at the screen that says "Welcome back" there's the option to switch accounts or "Let's play". When I press the switch accounts button a window open very quickly then closes which doesn't allow me to switch microsoft accounts. I didn't have this problem with my old laptop yet the problem is apparent. I also tried to switch store accounts but it wouldn't let me. I also tried to repair and restart the xbox app but no luck.

    :)

    Forza Horizon 5 Progress lost

    Hello Lucas.

    To answer your questions:

    Yes, I did play online

    I own two microsoft accounts, but had only used this one before my switch between the different pc:s.

    To clarify, I switched between two different pc:s, one running windows 10 and the other running windows 11. It is on the newer one running windows 11 that I am having problems, when I try running the game on the older one running windows 10, everything is in its place and I am signed into the correct account.
