    Why can't I remove myself from my Microsoft Family?


    Hello,

    I have been trying to figure out how to remove myself from my Microsoft family, however, it has not gone well.

    When I tried joining Minecraft realms, it says I needed to allow the setting Multiplayer and Clubs under Privacy (I am trying to join realms on Minecraft Windows 10 or Bedrock), however I did not get that option and was told when I clicked on a settings link, I couldn't change the settings because I was a part of a family account.

    I have my Microsoft account set to 18+ (I live in the U.S.), and I am the only member in my Microsoft family (which I did check on the account it would be connected to just in case), yet I cannot change privacy settings and enable Multiplayer and Clubs, nor can I leave the family as I do not get the "..." to click to leave.

    This is very frustrating as I am able to join Multiplayer servers just fine on this Microsoft account, but I cannot join realms nor accept invites. I have tried on both my pc and my phone.

    Help please!

    Thanks,

    Em

    Thank you so much for letting me know that you figured it out by visiting the Xbox website to do some modification in your account. Let me take note of the fix you have made, and I will use this to my customer having the same issue in the near future.

    Hey,

    I figured out how to change the setting. It was on the xbox website, not on the microsoft website or the family account settings.

    Thanks for your help anyways!

    Hello EmTheFighter

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience that you are facing now wherein you are not able to get rid from the family group account and you encountered an error as well. Let’s work together in finding the best resolution to this issue.

    I will provide to you the steps and link on how to remove your account from the family group. Please follow the steps below.

    • Go to family.microsoft.com.
    • Sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • On your family's page under the member's name, select More options > Remove from family group, and confirm.
    You can also remove a member below statutory age from your family group, although you must have an organizer account and be the one who gave consent. To remove members with parental consent:

    • Go to family.microsoft.com
    • Sign in with your Microsoft account, then, to remove a member, scroll down and select Manage my child's profile info, find their name, select Remove consent for this child's account, and confirm.
    • Go back to your family's page, and under the member's name, select More options > Remove from family group, and confirm.
    Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards,

    Microsoft Family: Removing myself from family.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Sarah

    As you're alone, may I know if you can try this workaround?

    Create a new account that can be considered as an adult account (try using another web browser or incognito mode).

    Once done, add your main account as organizer via the link below. (you can see in the new account an "add member" button

    https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    Please double check that you select your main account as organizer too, not member.

    Once successfully added, sign out from your account everywhere and restart your device

    Then log in your account again and check

    Microsoft account locked out of multiplayer due to being made a child account in a random family.

    Hi, my issue is that I have been assigned to a family with someone I don't know, so it's impossible to get removed from the family. I must be a child account since I can't access any multiplayer games or remove myself from the family.
