Default Profile on 360

I'm prolly going to feel dumb by the end of the day.

I just bought a 360 and I have profiles on it for myself, my little bro, and my girlfriend. I have for my profile auto sign in and not for the other two. So whenever I am the last one on the Xbox, it works and I'm auto signed in when it boots up again.... BUT whenever one of the other two profiles are signed in when the Xbox is shut off, it will boot back up with No One signed in.

How can I get it to sign me in when it boots up under ANY circumstance?

    I just got an xbox back in January and have this same issue. Also is there a way to save your avatar so its easy to switch between two of them. I'm not buying 2 fucking gold accounts, but my wife likes to play the card game sometimes. (If not then screw it, I'll just keep the girl avatar)

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    They'll have to sign out each time they're done I believe. Or else you just sign in every time with your profile. Sort of inconvenient but nothing major.


    Other dude: Just make her a seperate profile. You can only have one Avatar per profile and she doesn't need Gold account to play any of the games you have on the system.

    That's what I was assuming. It's not a huge deal, just a bit inconvenient.

    Yeah but sometimes she wants to play uno or poker online. Meh it doesn't matter, I don't care what my avatar looks like I'll just leave it as hers. (So far none of the games I want to play use them, thank god)

    The only solution is to create a hybrid monstrosity avatar that incorporates both of your features.

    Try disabling auto sign-in, turning it off and on again, and re-enabling it. Mine works consistently even if other profiles have been on.

    You can save your outfits, and they stay for either boy or girl so just make a girl and equip the saved girl outfit, or make a guy and equip the saved boy outfit. Should only take a minute.

    Ok, similar question. My friend has two profiles, both for himself. The one he created originally and the one he created by accident while syncing up Game for Windows Live. Now the original is the default, but he wants the new profile to be the default instead.

    How do you change the default profile? Its gotta be something stupid and easy, I know it, but we just couldn't find it.
