    after changing user name Microsoft account still shows older username while downloading apps

    Hello Shanti,

    We would like to know more so we can help you with regard to the username of your Microsoft account. To provide the appropriate steps, can you tell us the model and OS of the device you are using? Are you getting any error messages when trying to download
    applications from the Store?

    Since you mentioned that you made a change on your Microsoft account's username, we suggest that you try restarting the device to refresh and then check the username.

    Regards.
