New Game Bar Keeps Me Signed Into My Xbox Account

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue could occur when game bar runs on the background, you can try the troubleshooting below to check if this works for you.



May I know, which build version of Windows is installed on your computer?



Method 1: Sign out and Sign in again.

1. Press Windows + G key on your keyboard together.
   
2. Click on Settings by clicking on the small gear icon.
   
3. Scroll down to Accounts.
   
4. If you are already logged in, Sign out and Sign in again.
   

Method 2: Turn off Background recording.

1. Follow step 1 and 2 from method 1.
   
2. Scroll down to Recording.
   
3. Uncheck Record in the background while I’m playing a game.
   
4. Reboot and check.

New Game Bar Keeps Me Signed Into My Xbox Account

So since the new Xbox Game Bar or Xbox Social or whatever its called has been stealth installed in the latest Window 10 update, if i happen to open it on my PC (Windows Key + G) it will automatically show as online on my Xbox Friends list. If i then close
Game Bar (Windows Key + G) then it does not sign me out of my Xbox account and still shows me as online to all my friends in my friends list!!!.

I cant even see an option to sign out when Game Bar is loaded, so i cant even sign out before closing game bar down again!!!

If my xbox account isnt showing me as online until i load up Game Bar on my PC (it isnt i got a friend to check to see if i was online before i loaded up Game Bar on the PC and i was told i was NOT online) then surely when you close the Game Bar you would
expect it to sign you out but it does not!!

This is really annoying as you get friends send you game request or messages when you dont even have the game bar open on the PC!
