    Content Restrictions Bypassed on Home Screen Previews


    My four year old was able to view 16 and 18 rated content in the Home Page previews. Content settings for the account are set to 10years and younger. Surely this is a MASSIVE loophole to viewing inappropriate content?
    I've checked and double-checked settings and it's correct. In the Microsoft store the restrictions kick in as they should but from the Home screen there are previews and trailers for stuff that should not be seen by this user.

    Yes. Bypassing region restrictions to gain access to content early can result in a ban.

    Help me please

    Please note that bypassing geographical restrictions to get content not available in your country can lead to account suspension or restriction.

    It's at your own risk

    Manage Account Region -> There is no USA for me to select.

    Do you physically live in the USA? Or are you just trying to bypass region restrictions/gain access to content otherwise not available to you in your current region?

    "hide listings in search, stores & apps" impacts ALL accounts

    I believe this is to prevent signing into another account to bypass any restrictions.

    A possible future implementation could be to just require the parental control code to access content that is normal restricted. But currently a global impact is the only way parental controls will work.

    Where did the "Signed-out content restrictions" option go?

    Yanyannnn your explanation doesn't add up.

    Removing a crucial parental control feature for user convenience is baffling. The suggested alternatives fall short; my kids can easily bypass restrictions by pressing 'B' or selecting "Skip sign in" at the login screen. This impacts many users. Microsoft should reconsider and bring back the "signed-out content restrictions" in the next update until they can find an appropriate solution that addresses both parental concerns and user convenience.
