    Hi there,So I've added my wife as a family member so she can use my pc, but since she is not that computer literate I've added her as a member and not as orginiser.

    Hello Joni,

    Apologies for the delay in the response.

    If you are still facing the issue, please delete and re-add the account.

    • Login to
      https://account.microsoft.com/family#/
    • Under Your Family, click Remove.
    • Click on the child account name and then click Remove.
    • Now, re-add the child account by logging into your admin account in Windows.
    Let us know the status. Appreciate your patience.

    Family member accepted invite to family, but does not show in parent account

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and will guide you in the right direction.

    Have you verified the date of birth you setup for these child accounts?

    If you have not setup their date of birth properly on
    https://account.live.com/
    , we suggest you login your children's account and apply the complete details and update the account. After updating the profile information, remove and re-add the child account on the Family Safety
    website.

    Please follow these steps on how to remove a child and re-add it as a member of your Family Safety program.

    To remove a member, follow these steps:
    1. Log in to
    https://fss.live.com
    .

    2. Click Remove a family member.

    3. Select the member you want to remove by selecting the checkbox on the right of each member.

    4. Click Remove, confirm it by clicking Remove again.



    To add the member again, follow these:

    1. Click Add a new child.

    2. You will be asked to sign in the member you want to add. Click Sign in at the right side of the option "Does this child has a Windows Live ID?"

    3. Sign in using the child account. After entering the child account, it should appear as the member.

    Reference:
    Keep your kids safer on the PC

    Add people to your family group

    Hope this helps. Get back to us if the issue persist. We are happy to help.
