What happens when you remove a account from a family?

Hey Temixco, what happens when you try to remove yourself from the family pack? Are you following the steps on

this page specifically?

There are 2 factors that determine if an account is a child account or an adult account.

1. DOB when the account was originally setup. If under 18 HAS to have an adult account attached to it.

2. If an account is in a family as a child account. Even after the DOB on the account (when originally setup) has reached its 18th birthday it will continue to be a child account until the parental account signs into account.microsoft.com/family and removes
the child from the account. If an accounts DOB has not reached 18 yet and they remove themselves from a family that has an adult in it then it will not be able to do anything until it is put back into a family as a child.

So you will want to figure out what family you are currently in (you can do this by signing into account.microsoft.com/family and it will tell you what adults are in your family currently then you would need to sign into that adult account and remove
yourself from the family. If you sign into that account and do not see yourself in a family that means the DOB on the account when it was originally setup is still under 18.

what do you mean by other parental settings and it being associated with the other account? And what whould happen if i remove my self from family?

Answer both plese.

There are two things that make an account a child account.

1. The DOB on the account when it was originally setup. (this is set in stone for the xbox profile and can not be changed)

2. Whether it is in a family as a child account.

If 1 is true then by law it is required to be in a family as a child account.

Sometimes even when the DOB reaches the age of majority 18 in most countries there is a glitch in the system and does not automatically take the account out of a family as a child account.

What you would need to do is sign into your account at account.microsoft.com/family and this will show you who are currently in your family.

You would then need to sign into any adult account that is in your family and at that same family website and remove yourself from the family.

If your DOB when the account was originally setup is over the age of majority then your account will be put into a family of its own as an adult once removed from the family,

If your DOB when the account was originally setup is not over the age of majority when it was setup and you remove yourself from the family you will NOT be able to do anything on the account until your account is put back into a family as a child account.

Hi, usually that don't happen

But when it does, removing the account temporarily from the family group does the trick
