# MicrosoftGame.config Element - AdvancedUserModel

Specifies if Advanced User Model should be used for your title. This means your title supports the
active user changing without requiring a restart. If disabled, then the simplified user model is
used which guarantees your title will always keep the active user that it was launched with. See
[GDK User Models (NDA topic)](/build/core-features/common/user/gamecore-user-models) for more information.

Most titles will find using the Simplified User Model easier to develop against and should set this
element to false.
