Phone Switch Account to Manage Mobile Devices in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to switch Microsoft account in Manage Mobile Devices for your account in Windows 11.

If you turn on Allow this PC to access your mobile devices, you will be able to link and manage your mobile devices directly from your PC. This link between your Android device and PC provides instant access to your mobile device.

It is required to sign in to Manage Mobile Devices with your Microsoft account before you are able to link (add) and manage your mobile devices from your PC.

Starting with all Windows 11 Insider channels, you can now switch account in Manage Mobile Devices if you wanted to use a different Microsoft account without having to sign out and sign in to Manage Mobile Devices to switch.


Here's How:

1 Open Settings (Win+I).

2 Click/tap on Bluetooth & devices on the left side, and click/tap on Mobile devices on the right side. (see screenshot below)



3 Click/tap on the Manage devices button. (see screenshot below)

The Manage devices button will be disabled and grayed out if Allow this PC to access your mobile devices is not turned on.

4 Click/tap on the Switch account link. (see screenshot below)


5 Select the Microsoft account you want to switch to, and click/tap on Continue. (see screenshot below)

If the Microsoft account is not listed, then click/tap on Microsoft account under "Use a different account" and click/tap on Continue to sign in to the Microsoft account.

All Microsoft accounts you signed in with will be listed under Accounts used by other apps in Settings like below.

6 You can now Add device or close Manage Mobile Devices if you like. (see screenshot below)



That's it,
