Xbox PC games using wrong account.

Kurudede · Nov 9, 2021

Hi, to start i have 2 microsoft/xbox accounts. Both of them have Xbox game pass for pc active, 1. (main one) has ultimate version, 2. (secondary one) has only the standart one.

My problem is that when i want to play games that I have downloaded from Xbox App for win10 it keeps using my sec account even tho I am logged in in my main one (i am logged in with it everywhere - Windows, Xbox app and Microsoft store).

I have alredy tryed to repair the app, restarted, relogged multiple times, redownloaded games and restarted my computer.

- I had played few games using my sec account but it puts me in my sec account on games that I havent even played yet.

Thank u in advance.

:)

First sign out of everywhere on the PC then go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in with local account (the account you want to use in playing the game). Afterwards restart the PC and then try again.

if they show on the pc store as install but on the xbox and purchase then you are either using the wrong account, or you need to remove your account and re add it back on the xbox.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's only free on the PC if you use your PC as the server. My proposal is different--I'm talking about using third party servers to host and maintain the game, not your own Xbox. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but using third
party servers for the PC version isn't free.

I have this same problem, brand new sub code for xbox live and "something went wrong" no problems on my account, tried it both on the PC and on the Xbox... just returns "Something went wrong"... useful... not.

Does anybody know what is going on with this?

You will be able to use a secondary account on the PC to play the game on the secondary account in the Pc in Xbox it's possible also to use a secondary account sharing the game making that Xbox the home Xbox of the account that purchased the game
