    My settings are being charged and I didn't approve this


    So twice now in the last couple of weeks I have turned on my console and been greeted by the message that my console has been switched to shutdown mode instead of standby. I believe this is a massive overreach on xbox as I was already irritated the first time they tried to force this on me but now a second attempt within a couple of weeks is just ridiculous. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and is there anyway to report that I don't want Xbox changing settings on my console without my approval. To add to this I used to also get the ads on my console that wanted me to make this change to help save the planet and tried to opt out of them by telling Xbox I didn't want to see them but they yet again didn't care and kept putting them on my console.

    Problem Downloading ACII on Free Games WIth Gold

    When I went to download the game , it showed a message for tax being charged, I had to approve it. But I didn't so it didn't give me the download site.

    Credit card not showing as option for child's account in Microsoft Family Services.

    This does not seem like a valid answer. The original question was how can you have the card show up in the family settings AND enable the "Require approval for every purchase" option. This is basic functionality and works on other platforms (Android, iOS).

    I realize that the original question was for a prepaid gift card, but if I want to add my credit card to my child's account, I should be allowed to enable the "Require approval for every purchase" and not have to load their account with a set dollar amount. I should be able to approve the exact purchase amount and have that charged to the credit card.

    Custom Gamerpic

    Child accounts aren't able to have custom gamerpics unfortunately. It would be an additional complication, effort, and server load to have a parent account approve the upload to prevent anything being uploaded which a parent didn't approve of

    So is my credit card getting approved for these charges? Or do I need to go to my local branch to cancel it
