Fix Xbox App Auto-Login

If the Xbox App is automatically signing you back into the previous account without being able to sign into a different account, then you will have to reset this application in your settings, which will clear its cache, to sign into a different account. To do so, open up your Windows settings. In the Apps section, navigate to Installed Apps and look up Xbox. Navigate to the Advanced Options of your Xbox App and click on Reset. This will reset the app’s settings and data, allowing you to log in using a different account.

Switch Accounts in Xbox Console Companion App

Usually, the Xbox Console Companion application will log you out and into the same account, you’re using on the Xbox App. If this is not the case, open up the Xbox Console Companion application. In your app settings, click on Sign out in the General section. You will be able to sign into a different Microsoft account, and like your Xbox App, you can sign into your previous account or choose to use a different account.
