    My Xbox One S is always signed in to my profile. So why do games ask me to sign in when loading? Is there a setting to make all games use my profile automatically without asking every time I load it up? Thanks.

    :)

    depends on the developer, I imagine it's to authenticate information and that your data is safe

    Hello blue042,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in learning why some games ask you which profile you are going to use to play the game when you are already signed in to a profile when you launch the game. As stated by
    the ambassadors, this is a feature that is established to some games. If you would like to provide feedback about this feature, you can reach out to the developer or post on the

    feedback section of our subreddit
    . We hope this information helps!

    Not a issue with your console. Some games just have the option to ask again to change user. Is just a decision of the developer not the decision of the platform.

    Thank you for the replies.

    It's set to instant on and I never am asked for passwords.

    I just think it's strange that every time I boot up a game, it needs to confirm that I am going to play using my Xbox account that's already signed in. I feel like this would be an easy way to cut out load times and menu clicks to get into the games.

    Anyway, I guess nothing can be done. Thanks again.

    I don't think so, it's the standard of games.
