    How do I prevent my kids from creating profiles on an X Box Series S?


    We just bought the xbox series s. I'm trying to lock it down so they can only use their profile I created with the restrictions I want in place. Problem is, on the profile screen, they can create new profiles and get around any restrictions I put in place. How do I stop this?

    :)

    How do I prevent my kids from creating profiles on an X Box Series S?

    Hi David,

    This is absolutely possible. The best workaround to this would be to create a guest key.

    Refer to the following guides, which explain this feature in more detail:

    Set up and manage a guest key on your Xbox console | Xbox Support

    Use content limits on your Xbox console when no one is signed in | Xbox Support

    On your Xbox console, via your account, go to Account settings > Family settings > Access restrictions. Then create a guest key (6-digit passkey) and disable the option ‘allow adding and creating new profiles’. You can also restrict the ability to remove accounts, adding guests and performing console resets. This would prevent child profiles from accessing restricted content, whether they’re trying through an alternate account or when signed out.

    Just be sure that all the child accounts are in your family. Otherwise, these settings won’t apply to them. Once everything is updated, you may need to restart your console so the changes properly take effect and reflect across all profiles.

    Don’t worry, only you can adjust these permissions as the parent/guardian. The passkey can only be reset by you or another adult in the family, as long as you’re signed in to the correct account and know the password.

    This support page includes additional resources with more info regarding privacy and family settings:

    I bought Call of Duty cross Gen edition “smart delivery” modern warfare 2. I have a series S and I can’t play this game on it? Can we turn it into a digital only version?

    What do you mean? How’s it going? I just bought two versions of this game and they seem to not be correct.

    Does X box series X games work on a series S console or no?

    And if not is there a way to allow me to still play these two games?

    Multiple Family Settings Issues

    Thank you for the response!

    I have some clarifying questions. First, let me make certain that we have had the X-Box One S for quite some time and only recently purchased the Series S. Therefore, my account and the gamepass sub are tied to the One S.

    1. If I make the Series S my new main X-Box, will my children not be able to benefit from Gamepass on the One S?

    2. Is Minecraft multiplayer restricted to Gold sub members? And that is why my wife cannot play on the realm?

    3. Is there a simple solution that allows my whole family to benefit from Gamepass with multiple XBox consoles within one home? We will likely be adding another Series S or Series X at some point, is each console supposed to have its own subscription?
