Windows 10: New Game Bar Keeps Me Signed Into My Xbox Account

So since the new Xbox Game Bar or Xbox Social or whatever its called has been stealth installed in the latest Window 10 update, if i happen to open it on my PC (Windows Key + G) it will automatically show as online on my Xbox Friends list. If i then close Game Bar (Windows Key + G) then it does not sign me out of my Xbox account and still shows me as online to all my friends in my friends list!!!.


I cant even see an option to sign out when Game Bar is loaded, so i cant even sign out before closing game bar down again!!!


If my xbox account isnt showing me as online until i load up Game Bar on my PC (it isnt i got a friend to check to see if i was online before i loaded up Game Bar on the PC and i was told i was NOT online) then surely when you close the Game Bar you would expect it to sign you out but it does not!!


This is really annoying as you get friends send you game request or messages when you dont even have the game bar open on the PC!

I can't sign in to my Xbox account from games

Hi,

We are currently experiencing unanticipated difficulties signing in, creating, managing, and recovering Xbox Live accounts. The following platforms are affected:

• Xbox One
• Xbox on Windows 10
• Xbox 360
• Xbox on other devices

We suggest that you try signing in to your games once the server is up and running. It may take 24 hours. Our Xbox system administrators are working on this.

To keep track of the progress, check out
Xbox Live Status.

Let us know if you have other inquires. We'd be glad to clear things out.

In order to turn UAC competely, open regedit, and navigate to following location.

You are going to have to modify the value of EnableLUA to 0. Setting the UAC setting to it's lowest setting, within the Control Panel on Windows 10, does not actually disable UAC.
