    messing with settings


    Seems that when I'm away, my family tends to make adjustments to my xbox settings. Is there a way I can lock them out from messing with system settings? all I can find are options for regulating gaming and xbox live features. Is there a way to keep my
    system settings from being tampered with?

    :)

    You can create another accounts for your family members and share games etc between them. I think this is the best solution

    Hi,

    actually I think that you can't "lock" the general system settings. If you give us more details about the specific setting we can try to understand how to help you with this issue messing with settings ;)

    well, in general, a password to get into the system settings would be nice.

    Specifically, it is the network. I game by streaming to my pc, because the tv in the living room is always in use. since I regulate internet usage (because I don't have unlimited service) they go into my settings, and switch from wired to wifi. So that
    they can use their hotspot devices.

    How can I stop them from messing around in my XboxOne's settings?

    Thanks

    I don't think it is possible, The only settings that can be locked are Privacy Settings/Account Settings.

    Go to sign in and security, then set up a passkey. Then choose custom passkey and from there you can require a pass key to make purchases, change system settings and sign in.
