    Child Account settings not updating


    First off, yes, I'm using adult account to change the settings. Every time I change the selections to allow online play, adding friends, streaming, etc. and click submit, the page refreshes and nothing changes. This is very
    frustrating.

    :)

    Child Account settings not updating

    I appreciate the quick response. The call center was not good. I work in one and know that it can be difficult, but that was horrid on all fronts.

    Mostly mad because the Xbox OneS was supposed to be something fun for the kids, but my oldest now can't even play online on his account... sorry, but a
    [Mod Remove - Profanity] setup that it wouldn't mirror the xbox 360 settings for stuff that simple.

    Child Account settings not updating

    Hi

    When making changes to a child's account settings, the child then needs to log off the console and back on for the changes to take effect.

    See if that help.

    Child Account settings not updating

    Hi JMJCP Fam,

    Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Forums! Sorry for the inconvenience and frustrating this situation
    has caused. We are looking into this type of situation currently. It seems others are having issues saving changes to the child account through the parent account.

    We understand you have added the account to your
    Family already.
    Only a parent using the Microsoft family service can change Xbox privacy and online safety settings for a
    child account.

    Change privacy and safety settings for you or a
    child - On the Xbox

    1. Sign in to the adult's Microsoft account at Xbox.com.
    2. Under
      My Xbox, select
      Profile.
    3. Select
      Privacy settings
      or
      Online safety on Xbox One.
      • Due to the secure nature of these settings, you may be asked to enter a security code that we’ll send to the alternate phone number or email address previously
        saved to your account.
    4. Select the account you want to look at.
    5. Review the settings currently in place and update those you want to change.
    6. Save your changes on each tab before moving on to the next.

    Give this a try then have the kids try to access the game or account in question.

    Child Account settings not updating

    keep in mind that once an age is set it's permanent. If you were not an adult account previously and just changed your age the system won't recognize it. This is to prevent kids from just changing their ages to bypass stuff.

    With that said, You may have to try another browser to see if it works there.
