Windows Live account login

FondMermaid3 · May 3, 2016

I am having trouble while logging in on my XBox 360 profile while connected to internet. It states that I do have my profile connected to Windows Live (connected it years ago) but when I try to log in it says that the password is not working. I don't have
windows account for any other email that I remember. Is there a way of perhaps checking an email adress that my gamertag is connected to? I saw that one can see it under Account in Settings, I however cannot acces this pannel if I'm not logged in. So is there
a way of checking it offline?

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.

Cannot Login to XBOX live

What error does it give you when you try to login to the account using the Games for Windows LIVE client? And have you made sure to check the Windows Live ID that you are using to login to your XBOX Live account on the console and checked it with the Games
for Windows LIVE account your trying to login to?

But if my current Windows Live account is linked to this generic "User1234567" Xbox live account they made for me, won't it still be linked to that Xbox Live account when I go to re-set Windows 8 to a Windows Live login instead of a local login?

What I need to know how to do is de-link this Xbox Live account from my Windows Live account and re-link a different Xbox Live account to it instead.

We have Xbox Live and Music connected to one account, I want to be able to use Xbox music and Xbox Smartglass on Windows 8 - but by logging into my own individual microsoft account.

Essentially, my login is separate from my windows 8 login. I want to just go to Xbox music within Windows 8 and login to the account that has those services online.

Make sense?

Hello Longchenpa,

Thank you for reporting your issue. We've passed it on to our production team for an investigation. Can you confirm if your LIVE login is associated to your Windows Login? If it isn't, access the Charm Bar on your device, select Settings, then PC Settings.

1. Select Accounts or Users depending on if you have Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

2. This is where it will show if your account is tied to your Windows Login

3. If it's not tied to the account, attempt to associate your LIVE account to your Windows Login, you will be able to remove this at any time.

4. Uninstall Minesweeper

5. Restart your device

6. Login to your device, this may now be your LIVE login information, and access the Windows Store
