    Can't remove family member account that I no longer want


    I want to get rid of our family account for my 12 year old's laptop - it's constantly problematic, giving him limits that neither of us want and I can't undo. When I click the 3 dots to 'remove from family group", it gives me the error: "Family members under statutory age need an adult's consent to join a family group. Only the adult that granted consent for Luke can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted Luke consent to remove Luke from the family group." I am the family organizer & I am logged into the account! What do I do?

    :)

    I like to remove a family member from the account but when I select family member I do not see remove option and the only choices are either Block to sign or change. Any suggestion.

    Remove family member account not successful

    Hello everyone,

    I have tried to remove a family member account that I opened by mistake by following the steps I read here:

    1. Login the parent account at https://fss.live.com.

    2. In the Family Summary, click Remove a family member.

    3. Check your account with issue and click Remove.

    The problem now is that I dont see anymore the family member account on that website, but on my PC, when I start it, it still appears...

    Help would be much appreciated

    Windows Hello won't work for a family member account

    • Have you applied a group policy? If yes, you may check this article on
      how to resolve the issue.
      • No group policy applied
    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
      • It’s a new computer. As soon as I created my administrator account I created a family account for my wife. Everything else works on her account but Windows Hello does not work (the camera).
    • What is the exact error message?
      • I attempted to attach screen shots of each step we have gone through but it would accept Word or PDF files. Is there another way I can get them to you?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve this?
      • I deleted her family member account, created a PC account (with the same results), deleted the PC account and recreated the family member account. No luck with her Windows Hello.
    There is a possibility that the family member account/profile that you have created is corrupted/damaged. We suggest that you try re-configuring the profile.
