    How to block new profile creation and all downloads ?


    I have 2 children, both with children accounts. They are set to download nothing In family and parent controls.

    The issue is that: even with this setting, they can still download. Additionally they can create a new profile, and this can download free games, demos, trials, etc.

    The problem, is my ISP has a monthly usage limit, and the downloads are blowing through the limit, which is costing me money. I have chatted with MS support and they say it can't happen.

    any way to truly block all downloads and also block new profile creation?

    :)

    Choose 'Download Profile' on your console's sign in page.

    If it's a brand new console, skip the profile creation part.

    It might have to do with the way the parent/administrator account is set up. You may have to go into the main account and set it up so the downloads are not allowed and set a password (main account) for downloads.

  5. I just checked with my profile and it is better if you go online on the computer and set up on xbox settings to not download anything. I don't see anything about requiring a password to purchase stuff.

    how to block all downloading

    Hi amyeu77!

    I am afraid that there's no such option to block or to disable downloading on your console. Though, we can filter the contents that the they can play or download by putting a content filters on the account. It is available on Microsoft Family for added members to it.

    You can learn more about that here https://support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-bil...
