  1. Microsoft account and xbox into two separate users


    I am a father that has a 16 y/o son. So when I set up his xbox account, he used my microsoft account. I have several files on my one drive and keep changing my password effecting my son's xbox account.

  2. Admin user account changed after streaming game in Xbox from different user account

    Hi Eric,

    Welcome to Microsoft community and thank you for posting your query.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you to fix the issue.

    To assist you better, I would like to know are you logged-in using Microsoft account?

    Let’s try simple steps and check if that helps in resolving the issue. I would suggest to convert the current user account to the local user account.


    • Go to settings and click on Accounts.

    • Click on Your email and accounts and click on
      Sign-in with a local account instead.

    • Enter the password, click on Next
      and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into local account.
    Once you are done converting to local user account, convert your local user account to Microsoft account. Follow the above steps skip step 3 and click on
    Your email and accounts and click on Sign-in with a Microsoft account instead. Enter the
    password, click on Next and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into Microsoft account.

    Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

    Remove account


    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del
