    Xbox App on Windows 11 is not letting me switch accounts.


    My parents set up my xbox when I was 10 and used my mother's email address for my account. I've been using that account for years and have spent a lot of money on it.

    I've recently moved to PC and installed the Xbox App so I can use PC game pass to get all my games. The only problem is, I have an alternate xbox account that uses my email address. And since the PC is of course registered under my email address, the xbox app signs me into my alternate account by default.

    Which would be fine, it does the same thing on my laptop which I've had for a few years and is also registered under my email address. But on my laptop I press the switch accounts button and it gives me the option to sign into my mother's email/my xbox account.

    On PC I press that button and it does nothing. Literally nothing. Any fixes?

    :)

    There is no xbox companion app for Windows 11. That's a Windows 10 app now defunct in 11.

    Please get me another agent.
