Not able to change privacy settings

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Clearing the cache and cookies can help in resolving issues where outdated or corrupted data might be causing the redirection loop.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

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear about the current
trouble changing
your privacy and online safety settings on your Xbox One console.

Please try the following:

• Sign into Xbox Live. You must be online and signed in to make changes.
• You’re signed in to the console using an adult account. Children and teens are restricted from
  making changes to their
  own privacy and online safety settings.

• If you receive an error message when you try to change your privacy settings, search for the error using the
  Error Code Lookup Tool.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

The image is not showing but the error message that appears is An unexpected error occured. Please try again later.

I have tried this for 3 days now and it is still not working.

What is wrong?

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?
