Xbox Live Won’t Automatically Sign In

I recently received my Xbox back from repair after I got the red rings. One I had got it back I noticed that it was no longer logging me into Xbox Live automatically when I load up the console. At first I thought I would get used to it but to be honest, I’m really lazy and can’t be bothered to manually log in every time I load up my Xbox.

So after searching on the net and not having a huge amount of luck, mainly just finding ways to do it on the old Xbox dashboard, I spent some time trying to fumble around the settings and I have found an answer.

You would think that the option to manually log into Xbox live would be under system settings, but it’s not.

You first have to log in to the account you wish to automatically log into –> press the Xbox guide button on your controller –> tab along to the ‘Settings’ tab and choose ‘Profile’ from the list of options –> roll down to the bottom option, ‘Auto Sign-in’, and you can enable or disable automatic Xbox Live sign in.

Hopefully that helped if anyone was stuck wondering how to do it, because it’s a bit hidden away.
