Remove XBox and an unrequested account from Win 10

TMWGray · Feb 21, 2017

None of the forums seem to relate to my question.

I have never used Xbox nor do I want to. It seem to have created an account that I do not want nor asked for.

How can I remove both from my Win 10 PC

Xbox is telling me to get Gold even though I have it?

Another way to attempt to fix this, is to remove the account from the xbox in settings->accounts-> remove accounts. After that is removed login with that gametag again to force the console to fetch your live subscription data. In rare cases your Xbox account and live account will lose sync.

Forza Horizon 4 benutzt falschen Microsoft Account [ Translation - Forza Horizon 4 uses fake Microsoft account ]

I'm on PC and i was not getting any errors....

I got it by now, the problem was that Forza ignores the account used in the microsoft store...

I had to remove the account linked to my win 10, then i had to relog in the xbox-app form the old to the new account and then relog in the store from the old to the new account...

Hey there PeachCypress332.

If you're using a Microsoft account on a Windows 10 PC an Xbox Live account is automatically created for things like purchasing from the app store and using the Xbox App. You're not required to use the account, but it is tied to the account that you use to
sign into a Windows 10 PC with.

To remove your account, follow instructions here
https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/add-remove-account-xbox-one

To remove Xbox apps, such as the console companion and the Xbox beta app, Right click the app icon and select uninstall. Please note this only works with Win 10 version 1903 or higher, and not all Xbox apps, such as the game bar can be uninstalled.

Yes, as long as your account has authorized the PC as one of your Win 10 machines, you can have a game downloaded and another GT can play the title. If you remove the device as an authorized machine, the license will no longer work. You can also have
up to 10 active win 10 devices.

On the win 10 xbox app, go to the "connect" tab - click "more" next to your console, remove the console then try to search for it again?
