  1. My child is now an adult and their account didnt switch to an adult one.


    So my child made an xbox account. They are now an adult and cannot purchase anything digitally, cannot play crossplay or anything. I try to grant permissions but it fails.

    In the family settings everything has been granted permission, has adult defaults.

    We do not know what to do at the moment because everything we have read has been outdated or we have already done.

    Please help, thank you.

    :)

    My child is now an adult and their account didnt switch to an adult one.

    Hello, caroline. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Is the former child account on your family group? If so, please remove him/her from your family group and then add him/her back as an organizer:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    After this is done, the account will probably be allowed to change its own privacy settings and will not need parent permission for things. Please ask him to sign in to his/her Xbox privacy settings and change everything he/she wants:

    https://account.xbox.com/settings

    And finally, after changing everything, please ask him/her to remove and add the account to the console again:

    Remove Account:

    1. Press the Xbox button. ​​​

    2. Select System > Settings > Account > Remove accounts. ​​​

    3. Select the account that you want to remove, and then Remove. ​​​

    4. Close. ​​​

    ​​​

    Power Reset:

    1​​. Turn off your console and your router/modem.

    2. Unplug all the cables from both devices (power, HDMI, etc..) and wait 2 minutes.

    3. After 2 minutes, plug all the cables in again on your router/modem and wait for all the lights to show up.

    ​​​4. Plug all the cables on your console and turn it on.

    Add Account:

    1. Press the Xbox button.

    2. Select Profile & System > Add or switch > Add new.

    3. Enter the email address and password for the Microsoft account that you want to add.

    4. Read the Microsoft Service Agreement and Privacy Statement, and select I Accept.

    5. Follow the steps to configure your Sign-In & Security preferences.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and please let me know how it goes.

    Parental Controls - Approving Friend Requests

    There are three accounts in total, two adult, one child. The info I gave previously was from my adult account.

    I'm just checking his child and our adult statuses.

    My account is Adult and his is Custom (Child setting interfered with his gaming).

    Account problem

    How long ago did the Child account switch to an Adult account?

    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

    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.
