    A couple years ago I made an adult Microsoft Account on my brothers Xbox so I could play some of his games, I no longer live with him and have since only used my Microsoft Account for Minecraft on PS4. Minecraft Realms were just released on PS4 but I was
    told I cannot play online when I tried to join a server. After selecting the "Get Help Fixing This" button I was taken to a support page that basically told me my (previously) Adult Microsoft Account was now a Child Account and I could only change my settings
    to play online through the Parent Account which doesn't exist because there was never a Parent Account because my account was originally an adult account. I cannot even check to see if my brothers account was somehow made into the Parent Account for mine because
    I no longer live with him or have access to his Xbox One that my account was originally made on. I wasn't a child when my account was first made and I am certainly not one now and I do not know how to fix this, any helpful advice?

    :)

    Parental control settings

    I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
    I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

    Avatar skins for child account

    but the message on screen is to have an adult purchase them FOR the child account. So, as the adult that owns the xbox live gold account, how do I do what the system is telling me to do? If, as an adult, I can not buy these for my child, why tell me I
    can? And are the very childish avatar skins REALLY only meant for adult players? If child accounts cannot have them, your messaging should not tell the child to ask their parents to purchase them for them. It should just say something like “ Avatar skins (many
    of which are obviously designed for children) cannot be purchased for a child account. So if you, as a parent buy your child an Xbox Live Gold account, please know that 5hey cannot access content design ped for xbox live gold members even with parent permission”.

    How to change the Xbox privacy settings when I'm not in a Microsoft family, but kept getting redirected to the page "Why can’t I change my privacy settings?"

    Thanks for your quick response to my question, I really appreciate the efficiency :)

    I understand that my account might be a child account, but are there any ways to make sure about that? It would be great if every single Microsoft users can check whether their account is a child one or an adult one by themselves.

    I'm 18 years old now, and in my region (which is Taiwan), I'm surely an adult. I've checked the birthday in my account settings and it is correct. However, my account still seems to remain a child one(?

    Please tell me how to change my account into an adult one. And also, tell me if there's any way to check whether my account is a child one or an adult one. Thanks.

    Apologies for the confusion, we were referring to adult content restrictions. Content restrictions are usually managed through the adult account managing the child account. We recommend checking all the settings and purchase exceptions that you've set for
    your children. Be sure to check out the
    guide we have on granting exceptions
    for an account. Hopefully we can get your children these avatar items they're wanting.

    Xbox one - Changing Adult Account to Child Account

    Adult accounts cannot be made child accounts. Only child accounts can be converted to adult accounts. Not the other way around.

    So I can't Immigrate it?
    No
