    Remove XBox and an unrequested account from Win 10

    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.

    Hi,

    If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, that account will be linked to the user account signed in on the PC. The Xbox app will take the Microsoft account credentials you used to sign in to Windows 10 and check to see if there's a gamertag
    associated with this account. Currently, we don't have an option to remove the auto-sign when launching the Xbox app. However, if the Microsoft account that you've signed in to your computer doesn't have an Xbox Live account, you can select
    Sign in with a different account option when you get a page that says "Let's get you an alter-ego for Xbox Live (We call it a gamertag)". This will bring up the account picker screen, and you can
    add the Microsoft account you use to sign in to Xbox Live. You may refer to this link about how to sign in to the Xbox app on Windows 10.

    Let us know if you need clarifications.

    Playing previously purchased Xbox games (Play Anywhere games) on a PC running Windows 10

    Hi,

    Sounds to me like they aren't signed in with the same account they used before. To download previously purchased games again on a new system or otherwise, they need to be signed in with the same account that purchased the game/s.

    Xbox Companion App is for streaming games from an Xbox console to a PC. The Xbox App for PC is used for PC Game Pass, if you don't have Game Pass Ultimate or just Game Pass PC, you don't need to use this app as purchased games can be downloaded using the Windows Store App in Windows 10.
