    Two Xbox accounts linked to one microsoft account causing shenanigans


    When i played sea of thieves some time ago i would launch it through the Microsoft store application, and i would be played through the Xbox account i had originally linked to the microsoft account. I wanted to play it again but since last time it has become a requirement to play it through the xbox companion app.The problem is that when i launch the Xbox companion app it logs onto another Xbox account, which is somehow also linked to the gmail used for my microsoft account.I think it occurred when i linked my Minecraft account to my windows account because it might not have recognized that i

    Linking my Xbox & Microsoft Accounts - Not Possible?

    Hi,

    You can only download and access your games and apps by using the Microsoft account that you used to purchase them. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you change the email address attached to your Xbox Live profile by following the steps on this

    link    .

    You have to log in to your old email address and change it to the new email address.

    For account verification or to check if your gamertag is already attached to the new email, you can contact Xbox Chat Support or request a call on this

    link    .

    Should you have any other queries, you can contact us anytime.

    Two Xbox accounts linked to one microsoft account causing shenanigans

    Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

    This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

    The troublesome steps are:

    3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

    4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

    I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

    Any ideas?
