  1. How to remove screen time on an adult account N0 Family/Children!!!!!


    I accidently had my dad's account link up to my new desktop since I was trying to connect my old Minecraft account to it. For some reason, that account on my computer has a timeout at 11 pm to 7 am, which my Xbox never imposed on me. I am not sure how to remove it. I have removed my desktop computer Windows 10 from his Microsoft devices, I has removed everyone in his Microsoft family, etc. When I try to change the screen time settings the Microsoft website gives me the run around constantly reload the same two webpages over and over again, since my dad's account does not have screen time set

    :)

  2. How to delete an adult account in the Family Settings.

    Hi,

    To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • As an adult in the family account, sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Under Your family, click
      Remove
      .
    • Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
    • You will get an email confirmation once the child has been removed from the family.
    Note: If you removed a Child account, it will be tagged as an "Orphaned account" and you will need to attach another "Parent account".

    Regards.

    How to remove screen time on an adult account N0 Family/Children!!!!!

    Family and other people, cannot remove adult in any screen. name and email remains.

    Hi KDF64,

    Before you will be able to remove an adult account, you have to remove all the child accounts under Family. One of the methods to check the account description is by going to Settings. You can follow the steps below:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts.
    3. Click Family & other accounts.
    4. Under the account user name is the description of the account. You will see if it is a
      Child account or an Adult account.

    To remove an account from the Family in Windows 10 or on Xbox One, you can follow the steps in this

    link.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
