Minecraft launcher keeps defaulting to xbox account, instead of original account.

The thing is, you do not actually use a mojang account to play minecraft dungeons, instead you'll use a microsoft account, but I don't believe you can transfer progress between the microsoft store and the dungeons launcher editions.

I recommend keeping the version out of the microsoft store instead.

Search for ''Minecraft Launcher'' in the Xbox app, install, log in with your Microsoft account on the launcher, select Minecraft For Windows and install.

Hello,

Yes it is in Minecraft launcher, but it was associated with Xbox account, currently the auto login feature also applies to Xbox apps I have installed on my computer, therefore it is both a issue with Minecraft launcher and Xbox, it is kind of also a Microsoft account issue since my Minecraft account was my Microsoft account.

Thanks!

Hello, I have a similar but different problem. In my case, I migrated a Mojang account to a Microsoft account and ended up with two Xbox profiles. It seemed to me that the migration process created the second profile instead of re-using the existing one.

In the Minecraft Launcher, there are now two Xbox profiles available to choose from. One of them is indeed the migrated account and the other one is not (it contains all the other games associated with this Microsoft account except Minecraft).

I can play the Minecraft game, all realms are visible (own and friends) exactly as before the migration, all good so far. But my own realm has expired despite it being automatically renewed up until the migration (I think the migration terminated the auto subscription).

My problem is now that I can not log into the Minecraft Realms service with the Microsoft account because the default Xbox profile is not the one with the migrated Mojang account. It seems that the Minecraft Realms service makes assumptions about the associated Xbox tag and uses the default to identify the user, or at least it seems that way. It doesn't recognize that a Microsoft account can have several Xbox profiles/tags associated with it.

Hello Dr.TUO,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

We recommend trying to install Minecraft through the Minecraft Launcher located in the Xbox app instead of the Microsoft Store. Launch the Xbox app and verify that you’re signed into the account that owns the game. After, search for Minecraft. There you will find Minecraft for Windows + Launcher.

Let us know if that helps,
