  1. (PC) Can't see my installed games after switching logins


    I initially set up my Win 10 PC with a local account, and have since decided to set up profiles for different family members, with MS logins so I can use parental controls. My new "user" is the same account I use on my XBox Live account, but for some reason I can't see my installed games on the new profile. No big deal for most of the games because they're free with Game Pass, but I bought one of them so I definitely want to get that showing in my profile. I also don't want to re-install everything because I don't want to waste disk space on double installs.

    Before

    PC User Account - Local user

    XBox App Account - My MS account

    XBox App Library - 8 games

    After

    PC User Account - My MS account

    XBox App Account - My MS account

    XBox App Library - 0 games (well, solitaire of course)

    Any ideas? I hope I'm missing something obvious.

    :)

    (PC) Can't see my installed games after switching logins

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Chris

    This can be a bit dumb, but may I know if you’re signed in with the account that own the game on the Xbox App as well and not only the Microsoft store?

    If that’s the case, please try and double check this:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update
    Click Check for Updates

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Then, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too. (Click on get updates)

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and verify if you’re able to see the games

    Can't get a Play Anywhere game on my PC

    SOLVED: I had the same problem and this answer solved it, for me. I wanted to install a Play Anywhere game (Hello Neighbor) on my sons Windows 10 account and could not, after reading this I opened the Windows Store App, signed out my son and did a temporary
    login with my account (the same email account that purchased the game), now the install button was there. After having done the install I did a login with his account again. My son can now play the game using his account on our Windows 10 PC. Thank you
    very much for providing a solution ArminatorX!

    Unable to connect to Netflix code R0-0-499

    Having the same issue here since I installed the xbox live update yesterday. Delete and reinstalled program also and still null. I read it was due to a hack on netflix after the update but can't get it to work. Login works fine on the home PC.

    Minecraft syncing error

    Hi Justin,

    have you tried logging in to an Xbox of a friend and see, if you can download the save game there?

    If it is the Bedrock version, you can try logging in on PC.

    If that works then and after a logout of your profile and reset you can't login, please call the Xbox support.
