  2. Microsoft Account Device Duplication

    For some reason when viewing the list of devices with apps and games in my Microsoft Account some are duplicating, meaning I have to remove duplicates or I reach the device limit.

    Are the any fix's for this?

    Hello Flemmingk, Device duplicated in my Microsoft Account :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

    Thanks Brink
    I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
    I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
    I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
    Thanks for your interest.
