  1. Xbox App on Windows 11 wouldnt let me use a different acct


    The Xbox App wouldnt let me Sign Out and then Sign In using a different Xbox account.

    Even if uninstalled, if I install again, Xbox FORCES me to use the current acct of my computer, but I have different devices and I already PAID for another account.

    What a piece of trash is Microsoft.

    Xbox App on Windows 11 wouldnt let me use a different acct

    Hi there!

    Sorry to hear about the issue. Let's do our best to sort that out.

    Please check if there's an Xbox Console Companion app installed on your PC. Make sure to sign out your other account there as well.

    You may also delete all Xbox-related accounts on your Windows Credential manager.

    Let me know if that works.

    i can only play minecraft windows 7 with windows 10???

    Yeah, Minecraft launcher for Windows 10/11 requires Xbox identity app due to that app was created on windows 10 launch

    There is no way to install Xbox identity provider app on windows 8 and older systems (these apps uses a different file type from the regular .exe)

    Try installing instead windows 7 64 bits and let me know how it goes

    Unable to log into Microsoft account on games and Xbox

    Thanks Nathan,

    Account isn't linked to a family account.

    I did notice that it had my Brother in laws Xbox as a connected device (used when we last visited them).

    I've unlinked the account from the xbox, so the PC is the only linked device now.

    However error still exists on this user.

    To help understand situation, I'll try clarify how I have users set up in Windows & xbox;

    [Chandler.family xbox acct] - app account originally used for Minecraft on ipad

    {Daughters windows acct} - created using different Outlook email address.

    (I've transferred this to a local user account today. issue still exists.)

    Linked xbox acct login on daughters windows acct, and up until a couple of weeks ago worked flawlessly, still works on her ipad without issue.

    Only recently has the PC login issue arisen. Not sure if recent software update or potentially a background security update for xbox app has caused this issue.

    Problem is because of purchase history on xbox acct, not willing to create a new one under windows acct details without being able to transfer these purchases over.

    *EDIT* - Just tried logging into the xbox app using other xbox accounts (both mine & my sons) and app shows same error regardless of account attempting to log in.

    Keeping downloaded Games off of xbox360 HDD

    I understand that is how it is currently setup. What I do not understand is ... My Windows 10 xbox acct IS my xbox 360 acct. If the games are available to redownload on a 360 with signing into my xbox acct and I use the exact same acct to set up my windows
    10 xbox app, along with the games being available for both devices ... I should be able to download a compatible version for any device I use my 1 and only acct on, especially since I have already purchased the game title on my xbox acct... How does one do
    that??
