Disable the Xbox Live auto sign-in feature on Xbox 360

This article describes the Xbox Live auto sign-in feature and how to turn the auto sign-in feature on or off on your Xbox 360 console.

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to Xbox Live.
2. Select Settings, and then select Profile.
3. Select Sign-in Preferences.
4. Select Auto Sign-in, and then make the changes that you want.

The auto sign-in setting is saved on your Xbox 360 console but not in the profile on the Xbox Live servers. If you turn on the auto sign-in feature on your console, the setting is saved on your console, but you are not signed in automatically if you use your profile on a different console.

Only one profile can have the auto sign-in feature turned on in one Xbox 360 console. If you have multiple profiles on one console, the auto sign-in feature for the first profile is automatically turned off when you turn on the auto sign-in feature for a second profile.
