    Unable to amend Country/Region in XBox Child Account


    I was unable to add money in the Family App as the Child’s account region was United States. It should be United Kingdom and in the XBox console settings it is set correctly as well as the XBox app. However I am unable to change the Country/Region in the account under Your Info>Edit Profile

    :)

    That snot where you edit it

    You have to do it here on xbox.com under my account and manage my region

    This is the only setting that affects billing

    And he cant

    He has to be over 18

    This is because he has to understand what he is doing and the consequences

    Everything from region locks and issues with subscriptions to the 3month limit

    The console setting has no bearing on the account region

    Unable to amend Country/Region in XBox Child Account

    Hi, thanks for the reply. There is no error when I go into account.Microsoft.com/profile and Edit Profile the Country/Region is set to United States and there is no option to change, so effectively greyed out. All other options Gender/Postal Code etc can be changed.

    If I go into the XBox console Profile & system > Settings > System > Language & location then it is and has always been correctly set to United Kingdom

    We only noticed this as an issue when we went to Add Money for the first time, I can only presume it’s been set like this since the account was created. Other sibling accounts are fine just this one,

    Thank you so much for the update. Kindly remove your child in the family group then check if you can manage the region after that you can re-add the account again as a member.

    Hi TylerBooBoo, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    Whenever you're trying to change the country/region on the website (https://account.microsoft.com/profile) are you getting an error or is it greyed out?

    That ain't the ossur

    His kids account is a child account therefore cannot do the region migration due to the conditions set forth by the region migration tool
