Hello everybody
Since a while, can’t exactly tell when it startet, I have to Login every single time when I start MSFS2020.
Very annyoing.
A while back, I had to login every couple of days or even weeks. But now, EVERY time I sart the sim, during loading, it wants my e-mail and password to login.
This is so annyoing.
Does anyone know how to change that?
Thanks a lot
That sounds like your Xbox App. Type XBOX in the W10 search window, check settings, it’s probably the one under General that states “Keep Xbox App running in the background when I close it”. See if that is checked.
Hmmm I got to settings and general… but I don’t see the “keep xbox app running…” box… could you upload a screenshot please?
Thanks a lot.
Hmm my version looks very different from yours.
Mine is called “xbox companion app” and has a different layout.
Kind of similar settings, but still rather different and the option you mentioned is not there 
Are there different versions of the Xbox app?
Forgot about that, there is also the “Xbox Companion App”. let me look at settings there also real quick
I’m not an expert, but I THINK you need both to work properly, here is a link for the first app I was talking about.
Xbox app for Windows 10 | Xbox
I’m just not an expert at this, but I THINK you need that one installed and set so you are logged in to you Xbox account properly to allow autologin starting FS2020. Just my theory, and what I have running.
and just testing, I got this when I logged out of the “Xbox Companion App”, which points to the newer app you say you don’t have, which tells me that’s newer. I still have both though. I’m going to try logging out of the new one and testing FS2020
The “Companion App” will be obsolete soon. This is why they are trying to get users to use just the Xbox app.
However, if you have any xbox apps, they all need the same account logged in. And you really don’t need any xbox app - but you’ll lose xbox multiplayer if you don’t have it. You will still have multiplayer in MSFS though.
It’s weird, I just tested logged out of the Xbox app, and the game still let me in and showed me logged in, so I’m not sure I was much help 
Yeah seems not to work unfortunatelly
I now installed the new xbox app, applied your settings, restarted my computer… and I’m logged in in the xbox app but MSFS2020 still asks for the login when I start it
I also read somewhere that resetting your Xbox password might work. Other than that, dunno.
