    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,

    If you contact support then they can tell you if your account is a child or not but as a sounds of it it's a child without parent account. Please keep in mind that support will be able to tell you the state as 'child' or 'adult' but nothing else like the
    DoB and this will be available for them after you passed security with them on their system.

    Please contact support on
    support.xbox.com/contact-us

  7. 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?

    Not able to change privacy settings

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    Clearing the cache and cookies can help in resolving issues where outdated or corrupted data might be causing the redirection loop.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