  1. Windows 11 Xbox app automatically signs into the wrong microsoft account


    I have my main microsoft account and another that I have my gamepass and purchased games on. On my windows 10 pc I was able to have my windows account as my main microsoft account and my xbox app would be the secondary account with gamepass and such.I now have a new Windows 11 PC and I can't seem to have my secondary account to log into the xbox app.I've tried to sign out and log back in, but I do not get the option to sign into a different account, it just automatically signs into my primary windows account.I've tried reseting the xbox app in the windows settings, that gets me a little closer

    :)

    Can't sign in to xbox app on windows 10 laptop

    Thank you for the information. Can you tell us if you have another Microsoft accounts associated with your Windows 10? Also, can you tell us if you recently changed your account password? For us to isolate more your concern, we suggest that you sign in your
    Microsoft account online through Xbox.com to make sure that you can access it normally. If so, let's remove the account that you're trying to sign in on the Xbox app by performing the following steps:

    • On your PC, press the Windows key and select the gear icon to access
      Settings page.
    • Go to Accounts.
    • Find the Microsoft account you used to sign in to the Xbox app and select
      Remove
      .
    • Go back to the Xbox app and sign in with the Microsoft account you just removed.

    Do get back to us with the results. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional help.

    Hello sciencegal, Windows 11 Xbox app automatically signs into the wrong microsoft account :)

    You can have Windows automatically sign in to a local account or Microsoft account. It doesn't matter.

    Is you account listed more than once in netplwiz? Double check to make sure that you have selected the correct account in step 3 Option 1.

    The password is case sensitive, so be sure to enter it exactly for it to work properly.

    Windows 10 Xbox App Sign in error (0x409) 0x80070005

    Hi,

    Corrupted profile data, an outdated version of the app, and software conflicts that occur when signing in are some of the factors that we have to take into consideration when troubleshooting issues with signing in to the Xbox app on Windows 10. Let's isolate
    your concern by answering the following questions:

    • Have you made any changes to your device or to your Xbox account before encountering this issue?
    • Are you using the same Microsoft account to sign in to the Xbox app and your Windows 10 PC?
    • Are you using an administrator user profile?
    • Have you tried signing in to other built-in Windows 10 apps like the Store app to check if the same issue occurs?

    Meanwhile, we suggest signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user data. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the
      Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
    • Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select
      Switch account.
    • Sign in with an account other than the one you were using.
    • Sign in to the Xbox app and check if the same issue occurs.
