    Account Access Limited by Microsoft Family Glitch


    So I used to be in a microsoft family with my dad, who recently removed his account off my computer. And upon try to access my family settings, I was not able to change anything. Both the microsoft website and Xbox 1 told me that I was already part of a family as a child account. Even though I had been removed a few days ago now. If anyone has any advice, please tell me, this is blocking me from multiple features on my account.

    :)

  2. microsoft family time limit, without any family accounts?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Basically removing the account from the family group, the account will still exist, but it won't have the benefits or restrictions it had within the family group.



    In this scenario I suggest you to check if the child account still exists under family group. If yes, you can go ahead and remove the members from the family group. Refer the article
    Remove members from your family group
    for the steps. Please make sure that you are followed and kindly back to us with the results.



    From more information, I would suggest you to check the article from
    Daniel Strommen[MSFT] dated March 31, 2017

    and refer the section Common issues with time limits.



    Meanwhile I would like to inform you that it’s required have an administrator privileges on the computer to make any changes with the user account. I suggest you to try signing in with the administrator password and make the necessary changes.

    Microsoft Family Account Limits

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to App time limits being applied on the Child Account in the Family group, and I certainly appreciate efforts in trying
    to resolve the issue.



    One of the things that you can try is removing the Child Account from the Family group and add it again to the Family group and check. Refer the articles
    Remove members from your family group
    and Add members to your family group



    In addition, you can refer the article

    Fix screen time limits not working




    Let us know how it goes.
