Xbox family settings ask a adult bug

Hi Arjunnand

It sounds like your Xbox (Microsoft) account is part of a family group and an adult on this account has blocked either playing multiplayer or joining clubs.

You will need to ask an adult in this group to remove these restrictions. This can be easily done using the Xbox family settings app.

Hope that helps.

Did account "A" remove account "B" from THEIR Family settings at Microsoft.com under the account settings? My brother had the same problem. He is 18 and under my family settings, he is under a "child account" because initially he was under 18. I had to remove
him and add him again as an adult. When choosing to add a family member it asks if its a "child" or "adult". THE FAMILY settings does not take into consideration the age of the account holder, but how you categorize it under the Family settings. That will
affect all online aspects regardless if the account holder is of adult age. The only remedy is for the original adult, in your case, Adult "A" has to completely remove "Account B". I find it strange you removed yourself, since child accounts don't have an
option to do so on the family settings on Microsoft.com. This cannot be done on an Xbox console unless you're using the Edge Browser, not under the console's own Family Settings.

In my case I added my brother again, chose adult, and now his ms/xbox account is listed as an Adult. He can now play Fortnite and buy Game Pass subscription without asking for permission or being blocked access. In your case your
now adult account can be removed again so you and Person "A" are not considered a family under Microsoft's family settings. This does not affect if you're game sharing and setting up a different Home Console for Xbox One.

Hope this helps.

Hi

There is no other way to leave the family or change any of the settings than through adults in your family. The best thing to do is ask for a new password on the account that has adult permissions in the family and change your screen time

Hope this helps

Hi Ruben

If you're an adult you should be able to see the "remove from the group" option once you click on the three little vertical dots next to "You"

If that's not the case you need to do this:



When you're not able to change your privacy settings the option left is join to a family group and ask to the family organizer / adult account to change the settings for you

**If you're an adult you can ask to the family organizer to invite you as a family organizer as well, not member

Unless you are over the age of 18 your parents (or another adult guardian) has to make account settings for your teen account.
