trying to use 2 different users accounts for gaming.

CreamPuff546 · Sep 20, 2016

I have signed out of my account in xbox on my computer. A different family member has signed into xbox using their account. When opening the game taptiles it logs in as me and there is no way to switch users. Is that correct? Is it not possible to play
the game separately or must we both play using just the one account.

Can you sign in Xbox live with a different E-mail account?

So, I have already an Xbox Live user and my E-mail account I used to sign in Xbox Live is about to close. Can I use a different E-mail account to sign in Live with the same user?

It's important, because I have all my achievements/ plus friends in this user and I cannot try it out, because I have not created another E-mail account, yet.

Windows 8 and Xbox Live are on two separate Microsoft accounts.

Hello,

Want to sign in to your app as a different user?

Use your Xbox app with a different Microsoft account

To switch to a different Microsoft account than the one you’re signed in with in your Xbox app—as you’d want to do if your Xbox gamertag is associated with a different Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID)—do the following.

Sign in to your PC using a different Microsoft account

1.On your PC, select the Settings charm.

2.Select Change PC settings.

3.Select Users.

4.Under Other users, select an account.

If needed, select Add a user and enter the email address and password for the Microsoft account you want to use.

you have to create a separate Windows Login user account. go to Settings, Accounts, and click Family & Other People. from here you can add another account. you have the option to add them to your Xbox Family, or not. you will need to log out of your
account on the PC, then have them log in to their own account.

It's alright. Thanks for trying mate. For us to further isolate the issue, could you try downloading a different game if you could install it fine? If same issue, please try to install it to a different drive location.

On the other hand, we could also try to install the game using a different Windows Profile or user account.

Hello Greg Prysiazny,

In order to use Xbox Game Pass on your PC you will need to go into the Xbox App on your PC and log in with the corresponding Microsoft Account to which you purchased Xbox Game Pass on. Make double sure that the email address is correct.

If you continue to have problems you may want to open a support ticket in the link below:

Hi there,

what could be causing this, is that your account is also signed in on that other console, if so please sign out on that console to see if that helps.

Let it know if there are any results
