    Microsoft store and buying things


    Hello, I am trying to buy a game from the Microsoft store (or test buying it, to see if I could use a gift card on it before redeeming one on Microsoft rewards) but every time I click the buy button, it redirects me to this page:

    Why can’t I change my privacy settings? | Xbox Support

    I am not current in a Microsoft/Xbox family, but I created one of which I was the organiser of a while ago and have since removed myself from it.

    Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

    :)

    If you're a minor even if you're the organizer it will not work, you need to be added as a member to a family group organized by an adult.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    If you're still a minor you need to have an organizer in managing your settings. They need to turn off the restriction for your spending for it to work.

    Kindly ask an adult to add you as a member by signing in to https://account.microsoft.com/family for them to manage it for you.

    Buying things on the Store or in a physical Microsoft Store or Game Pass quests are a good way. Always check the daily offers and you'll have points in no time.

    I cant buy things in the store?

    Does it give you a specific error code? And have you tried fully resetting your Xbox?

    To do so:

    1. Hold the power button on your system for ~10 seconds.

    2. Unplug the power cord in the back for a solid minute.

    3. Plug the power cord back in and restart your system.
