To log out of League of Legends, click the **X** in the top-right corner of the League client. A dialog appears with two buttons: **Exit** and **Sign Out**. Click **Sign Out**. Exit just closes the window without logging you out.

Signing out returns you to the Riot login screen. There's no account-switcher in the current client; sign out and sign back in with the other account.

## Logging Out of the Riot Games Launcher

Clicking X on the Riot Games launcher doesn't log you out. It minimizes to the Windows system tray and keeps running in the background. To fully exit and log out, click the **arrow icon** in the taskbar (bottom-right, near the clock) to reveal hidden tray icons, right-click the **Riot Games icon**, and select **Exit**. The next time you open the launcher you'll be taken to the login screen.

If your account may be active on another device, go to [account.riotgames.com](https://account.riotgames.com/?ref=blog.loltheory.gg) and navigate to **Security** to terminate all active sessions remotely.

If logging out didn't resolve your issue, you may need to [repair your League of Legends installation](https://blog.loltheory.gg/how-to-repair-league-of-legends/) instead.
