    Prevent Microsoft Accounts used by other apps


    Hello,Is there a way to prevent or automate the sign out of people who login to other microsoft apps like Xbox or the Microsoft Store? We set a group policy to prevent microsoft accounts from being logged in or added, but that only effects the local account user. When users sign into the Xbox app we want to prevent their credentials from being saved in the settings under the "accounts used by other apps" section. Is there a group policy somewhere to prevent this or an automation that can be performed when logged out or when the computer restarts to log out all users who have info saved there?

    :)

    App store and Microsoft account


    Thank you for the advice

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
