Not able to change privacy settings. This is frustrating and stupid.

I'm also on a child account, I messed up with the birth date when I created it but I own the parent account to it and can change the privacy settings from there. Is it possible for Microsoft to promote my account to an adult account without waiting 10 years
for it to be 18?

Hi nkTJH!

I'm sorry that your experiencing this problem. Sadly, Hassassinade is right. There isn't a way to change the birthdate on the child account once its created. If your having a problem trying to change the privacy and online safety settings on the Xbox One,
try and go throught Xbox.com. When you sign into the parent account, you can go to "My Account" and access your privacy and online safety settings for both the parent and the child account. If that doesn't work then your best bet is to try and contact support
to see if there is additional troubleshooting they can do.

Nope. You won't be able to promote your account from a child to an adult until you hit 18+ on that account. There's no way to change the date of birth on the account, unfortunately.

Hello Wilster,

Sorry to hear for the issue with privacy settings. A quick question, are you not able to play at all? So what is happening is the system is picking up you have a child account, in these situations you need to

Set up a family. When you add your account to a family with a parent account, the parent can then go in and

change settings on the child account. There are bugs as I have an adult account with settings all set right and I still get errors within the game.

Forza forums have known issues posted and others with similar issues.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Hi there Jemeika D.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with your account age restrictions.

Check Age Restrictions:
Ensure that the account’s birthdate is correctly set to reflect that the user is over 18. Sometimes, discrepancies in birthdate settings can cause restrictions.

Verify Microsoft Account Settings:
Log into the Microsoft account on a web browser, navigate to the family settings, and confirm that the user is not listed as a child. Ensure the account is recognized as an adult.

Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
Clearing the cache and cookies can help in resolving issues where outdated or corrupted data might be causing the redirection loop.

Update Xbox and Microsoft Account:
Ensure that both the Xbox and the Microsoft account are updated to the latest versions. Sometimes, updates include fixes for issues like this.

Try Different Devices:
Access the privacy settings from a different device or browser. This can help determine if the problem is device-specific.

I shall be here for your response! -Lumie
