    Why can’t I change my privacy settings?


    anytime I try to edit my Xbox account, it appears with the message screen: Why can’t I change my privacy settings? This has been happening for months now, I have tried everything to fix it, and failed.

    I don't have an actual Xbox, so that has made everything even more infuriating

    if someone can find a solution to this, tell me please.

    :)

    Why can’t I change my privacy settings?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    This means that the system detects that your account is a child account.

    If the system detects that your account is a child account you will be redirected to a support site and if not you will be able to change it successfully.

    If you were redirected to a support page, please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/family and check if there is an organizer account linked to your account then ask the organizer account to sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings to manage your account settings.

    I can't join Realms on the Windows 10 edition "because of how my account is set up"

    I also need help because I'm being redirected to the "Why can’t I change my privacy settings?" page but I have no parental controls or parent microsoft account.

    Login Problems

    Did you try to sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/family/ ?

    Can you send me a screenshot of your account on the webpage above showing that you're not on a Family Group?

    Because if you're not on a Family Group, you should be able to change your privacy settings and shouldn't receive the "why can’t I change my privacy settings?" message.
