    changed account privacy settings to adult but is still a child account


    So I turned 18 in december last year and I am trying to change my microsoft account from child to adult using my Mum’s account, it says to go to the family settings and changeit from there, for some reason though even though I change the account privacy
    to adult defaults it still says that the account is a child account, and I can’t remove it from the family otherwise I won’t be allowed to access the xbox services until added back in again. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this, it’s starting to get on my
    nerves

    :)

    Privacy Settings on Xbox App for Windows 10

    Hello Voosh,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Is the account you are using a child account? Child accounts need to be tied to an adult account through a family in order to have their privacy and online safety settings changed. The way to establish
    a family is have an adult account sign in to the
    Microsoft family website    , and add the child account to the adult account's family. The Xbox Settings portion of our website has a section called

    Privacy & Online Safety     where privacy settings can be adjusted. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Hi there EliteHedgehog56.

    If you feel you are set to a
    child/teen account     by error, we recommend reaching out to our
    chat support team     as they'll be able to take a closer look into your account to verify this.

    I can't change my Privacy settings.

    The account receiving the error is the actual adult account? or is the child account? child accounts can't change privacy settings.

    Online privacy setting won't save

    The privacy settings are separate from the whethere the account is child or adult. If your account is set up as a child account, there might be a parent gamertag that could change your privacy settings...

    Cannot remove parental lock even though I'm an adult

    Only a parental (adult account) can change the privacy settings for a child account. Your parents should open an adult account and add your child account to it.

    Xbox broadcasting problem

    Only an adult (parental account) can make the changes in privacy settings for a child account. The child account can't perform the changes itself.

    Cannot change privacy settings

    Hi Jackson! We'll do our best to sort this out.

    Just to confirm, are you already an adult or still minor?

    If you can't change your account's privacy settings via https://account.xbox.com/Settings, that means that your account is still being recognized by the system as child. It must be added to a Microsoft family group because only the organizer or adult account can change a child's privacy settings.
