Windows 10: How to view and remove devices from Microsoft account remotely?

With my Google account, I can view all the devices, browsers, etc. where I'm logged in. And I can remove them remotely. But with my Microsoft account, I only see the Windows laptop I'm signed on. It doesn't show the Android device where I'm logged in to Edge. Doesn't show that random PC I logged in to in the browser. How do I sign out of these accounts remotely?

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Cannot remove devices from Microsoft account

Hi Shelley, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.

You'll need to get your son to log into his Microsoft account to remove the device. Here are the steps:

- Log into the Microsoft Account associated with the device at account.microsoft.com

- Click View Account, then Devices.

- You'll see a list of associated devices. You can select and remove devices here.

Hopefully this is the solution you're after. If it doesn't work, please let me know and I'll see what else we can try! Thanks!

 

Remove Devices

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while removing the device from your Microsoft account as it keeps popping back after removing.



It could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive
and see if that helps.



You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.

1. Login to
   https://onedrive.live.com.
2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
   Remove PC.

If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
