    Turning off child account


    My Xbox says it's using a family account after I added my friend on my Xbox to be able to use the other controller. It doesn't let me do anything and says she is the parent. But I'm over 18 and want full access to my own Xbox. How do I fix this?

    :)

    remove parent account and remove child feature.

    Only the one who turned on the child's account can turn it off through their main account.

    Minecraft and Xbox app issues with Multiplayer.

    I do have a childs account, but everything is allowed.

    Since I have a childs account, is multiplayer turned off by default?

    How to turn off Child account

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    To turn off a child account on Xbox One, you need to have an adult Microsoft account. Here are the steps to do so:

    Sign in to the Xbox One console with the child account you want to change.

    Go to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family"

    Select the child account you want to change.

    Choose "Remove from family".

    Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the change.

    Once the account has been removed from the family, you can then change the account to an adult account by following the on-screen prompts to add an adult email and password.

    Note: You may need to have access to the email associated with the child account to complete these steps.

    How good is xbox at giving your refund

    I also suggest you look into changing your child to a child account if they are not, if they are turn off the ability to make purchases. If your child knows your account information change it, immediately update your password.

    {Xbox One] How to change a child account to adult

    Child accounts are "Child Accounts" because they are under the age of majority in the country you live in. It goes off the birthday listed on the Microsoft account when the tag is created. If the child is under the age of majority you cannot just turn
    it into an adult account.
