    How do I change my account to not be in a family group?


    Hi, my Xbox account is saying I have a child account and cannot I access any of my settings because of it. I never set up my account this way and I never set up a family group so there is no organizer to correct my account.

    :)

    How do I change my account to not be in a family group?

    Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

    It looks like your account is being recognized by the system as a child account. You won't be able to access your privacy settings on https://account.xbox.com/Settings if you're using a child account.

    If you're still underage, I would advise you to ask your parents to setup a Microsoft Family group and add your account as a member of the family so they can change your account privacy options.

    Please refer to the link below about managing Xbox online and privacy settings:

    Changing to parent account

    Hi Johan

    I assume that you have issue with changing Privacy Settings in your account. So, If your account's already added into a Family Group you will need to change the Privacy Settings in your account (Child account) through the Parent account (Organizer). You
    will find steps how to do that here.

    Otherwise, as a workaround, I suggest that you add your account into a Family Group as Child Account. then make the changes in the privacy settings ( follow the link above). afterward remove your account from the Family Group. Remember, you
    will need another account to use it as Parent account (Organizer) to create the family group. You will find steps here.

    Thanks for contacting us my name is Samy, I am advisor independent and I will be helping you today.

    How are you, Pearsoa?

    Are you within a family group or is your account a minor?

    If you are not within a family group, please change your account birthdate to 21+, save and try accessing your privacy settings again.

    On this link, you can change the age of your account.

    I am trying to play mycareer on NBA 2K23 but it says I need to change a setting for my child account, however I am unsure which setting I need to change.

    Yes I am in a family group, I changed my account settings with the parent account in the family, the settings on my account are saved but it won’t allow me to play that specific mode.
