  1. Xbox not allowing specific games for my kids in spite of no restrictions


    This is killing me.

    Every time my younger son tries to long on to Fortnite on either the Xbox Series X or the One S, I get the message that “Fortnite is blocked by family settings...send a message”.

    I try to send a message and get error code 0x80a40026.

    No matter what I do, nothing works. Previously, you could add/delete “always allowed apps” in the family app. It now doesn’t allow that.

    Even though he currently has no restrictions, it doesn’t allow it.

    I’ve searched the Microsoft error site and surprise, no info on this.

    Any ideas? If I get one more phone call about this from a frustrated kid, I’m going to lose it.

    xbox one main owner always have to log in before others can play

    ...I will check on the content restrictions, but the restrictions have not changed ...
    If you get the message about the owner of the game having to sign in, then it is NOT content restrictions.

    If it were content restrictions, the game would start, but show a dialogue that a parent has to allow the kid to play the restricted game.

    You'd then either get a message, or get asked to sign in on the console to allow the kids to play the restricted game.

    So I'd really put my money on an incorrectly configured Home Console setting.

    Also be aware: If your kids are "smart" enough maybe they figured out your password, and might have given your account to a friend for "game sharing". Be sure to

    secure your account with a passcode

    Can I buy and play 16 rated games underage?

    Thst would depend on what your parents allow you to do and your local laws. They can use the Family app to allow you to play Mature games. Or the game may work. without. restrictions. i suggest you contact the developer and ask them, as they'll know best about restrictions specific to their game.

    Huh... if my money and time budgets would allow, I'd probably have a PS console in addition to my Xbox as well.

    My Kid keeps deleting other Kid's accounts out of spite.

    There's family settings and passcodes you can put on your older daughters account which stops him from accessing sensitive info, go to settings, then account- then family settings. Click manage family members( make sure your on your daughters account) then
    add his profile. Should be good to go after that

    Many regards
