Problem with games when signed in with a different Microsoft Account.

MorbidPorpoise · Feb 22, 2016

Hello, having a problem with a few games.

Basically i'm using one ID for Windows 10 and a different one for the Windows Store and the Xbox App, but Halo Spartan ****/Strike, Hitman Go and a few others once loaded are signing in with the Windows 10 ID... while Minecraft Windows 10, Gigantic and Microsoft
Solitaire are using the right ID that is signed into the app.

I don't want to make a new user on my laptop just for these few games, have tried resetting/deleting/signing out of the app but getting no where with it. Anyone know of a solution that doesn't involve that?

My Halo Wars 2 and Definitive Collection DON'T START.

Hey there YipiKayYei94!

Is it possible you're signed into Windows 10 with the incorrect Microsoft Account and in-turn signed into the Store with a Gamertag different than what you own the game on?

Is there an error message when you try to start the game?

When you use a Microsoft Account to sign into your computer it automatically signs into every service using that account. If you want to use different accounts for different services you'll need to sign in using a local account.

The problem is this IS the PS4 account the Microsoft account was linked to. I can't seem to sign back into it nor can I sign into a different Microsoft account. Mojangs customer support is piss poor too they just tell me to talk to Microsoft.

Hey Jhills, when you said the message "syncing to game" pops up it got me thinking that maybe it's an account problem. Does this happen when you try to sign in with a different account?
