  1. I am not able to change my privacy settings.


    I am not able to change my privacy settings due to my account being in family settings which has a parent account that I cannot access for a unknown reason. My account is a child account I have no way to change it whatsoever and my email is deleted.

    Not able to change privacy settings

    Hello Wilster,

    Sorry to hear for the issue with privacy settings. A quick question, are you not able to play at all? So what is happening is the system is picking up you have a child account, in these situations you need to

    Set up a family. When you add your account to a family with a parent account, the parent can then go in and

    change settings on the child account
    . There are bugs as I have an adult account with settings all set right and I still get errors within the game.

    Forza forums
    have known issues posted and others with similar issues.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Hi there Jemeika D.

    I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

    I am so sorry you are having issues with your account age restrictions.

    Check Age Restrictions:
    Ensure that the account’s birthdate is correctly set to reflect that the user is over 18. Sometimes, discrepancies in birthdate settings can cause restrictions.

    Verify Microsoft Account Settings:
    Log into the Microsoft account on a web browser, navigate to the family settings, and confirm that the user is not listed as a child. Ensure the account is recognized as an adult.

    Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
    Clearing the cache and cookies can help in resolving issues where outdated or corrupted data might be causing the redirection loop.

    Update Xbox and Microsoft Account:
    Ensure that both the Xbox and the Microsoft account are updated to the latest versions. Sometimes, updates include fixes for issues like this.

    Try Different Devices:
    Access the privacy settings from a different device or browser. This can help determine if the problem is device-specific.

    I shall be here for your response! -Lumie

    I'm not able to change my privacy settings.

    Yep, getting the same problem here. I spent a few minutes setting up my twitch account so I could stream me playing Dark Souls for the first time, however twitch is requiring me to change some Account details so that my streams are "set to: visible to everyone".
    Makes sense to me but my problem is, whenever I go to my account settings and and select my Online and Safety services I get an error saying it's currently unavailable... What gives?
