Minecraft Windows 10 Privacy & online safety settings on Xbox.xom

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist, it sounds like the privacy settings need to be changed on the account. If the account is a child account I recommend checking out this article on

how to change your child's Xbox privacy and online settings. If it's an adult account here is an

article on changing your settings. I hope this helped answer your question. Please let us know how it goes!

Happy Gaming!

Hello DawsonMoodie,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in changing your privacy and online safety settings for Xbox on Windows 10. The article entitled, "Xbox
One online safety and privacy settings for parents and kids" contains steps on how to complete this process through the Xbox website. The option for Windows 10 privacy and online safety settings on our website will state, "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety."
Be sure to let us know the results!

Zach, when you were in the family group, your privacy settings were managed by a parent/adult account, or you never had to ask for “permission” to change the settings?

If it's the second, please try this potential fix:

Step 1. Go again to your privacy and online safety settings and disable everything under “Privacy” and “Online safety for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10”.

Step 2. Sign out from your account on the Minecraft launcher and the Xbox app.

Step 3. Go to PC Settings > Installed Apps > Look for the Minecraft launcher and go to advanced settings.
Then click “repair” and “reset”.

Step 4. Open one more time your privacy and online safety settings and enable everything for both privacy and online safety tabs.

Step 5. Wait 5-10 minutes and access with your account on the Minecraft launcher and try entering again to the multiplayer features.
