  1. Windows 10 automatically logs into the wrong profile


    My home PC, running Windows 10, automatically logs into my sons profile any time the computer is shutdown or restarted. I can't figure out how to address this issue. It's especially odd because his profile is set to require a password but it automatically logs in when the computer boots back up.

    :)

  2. Logged in on wrong Xbox profile on Windows 10

    So i tried logging in on my Xbox 360 account on the Windows 10 app, and it worked great, but the problem was that it logged me into the wrong xbox profile, as my main one has a different email. How do I fix this?

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
