    Family Sharing Minecraft Windows - Can't logout of Microsoft Store


    there was a previous post that shows how to install Minecraft on family members profile by logging out, using my primary account to install then log back in.

    I'm not sure what changed, but I am now not able to logout of my child's account in the store while logged into their profile and install Minecraft. Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing:


    Family Sharing Minecraft Windows - Can't logout of Microsoft Store 331c1e10-c7a9-46f4-bccf-43e9a2a55b45?upload=true.png


    There is no "Log out" option in the drop down. When I click on Add work or school account and try to login with my account, it won't allow me as it isn't a work account. Can someone please provide advice on how to get this to work on my child's account? I've already bought Minecraft on my Xbox and it allows kids to play on there, but now they can't on the PC. Please help.

    :)

    Share Minecraft with Family

    I've seen a more or less similar post but of 2016, so I was hoping things might be different now.

    Is it possible to buy minecraft once and share it with your kids on the family account and can they play it simultaneously?

    I find this whole family account and content sharing on the microsoft store very confusing. It is very obvious in the Google play store how that works and there I bough minecraft once and can share it with my kids who can play it simultaneously.

    Family Sharing Minecraft Windows - Can't logout of Microsoft Store

    Share Minecraft Dungeons with family

    In the past I've successfully shared Minecraft (bought on my account) with my children on the Family account and I was under the assumption that other games bought on my account could be shared with my children in the same way.

    However having bought Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edition on my account, when I try to install it via the Windows Store on my child's account, it only shows the option to buy the game again and not to install it like it did when I shared Minecraft.

    So my question is should I be able to share Minecraft Dungeons with child accounts or not?
