Windows 10: Child unable to play Minecraft Multiplayer Besides LAN on Windows10

Minecraft displays a text box where usually there would be servers. Also when trying to add friends that says the Microsoft account settings aren't set to be able to play with others. There is no Microsoft parent account that I am aware of currently. 8/09/2020 Is there any way I can change the settings of the child Microsoft account without a parent account? If so, please reply the procedure.

i can't play multiplayer in minecraft windows edition

Hi BASSWAGON,

Normally, multiplayer gaming requires you to have an internet connection so that you will be able to connect to the game server and play with your friends. If WiFi connection is not available for you, I suggest that you connect your computer to a phone hotspot
as a workaround. In this way, you will be able to connect to the Minecraft servers and be able to play together with your friend.

Let us know if you need clarification. We'd be glad to further assist you.

 

Issue with playing multiplayer on Minecraft due to Microsoft settings.

There have been other issues raised with this exact problem, however none of them seem to address it and solve it. Here is my exact situation:

• I have Minecraft Windows 10 edition installed on my laptop.
• My account is not a child account, its birthday set is 1/1/2000, and it is not under a family.
• All settings on my X-Box and Microsoft account allow for multiplayer, and I am in fact logged into the proper account on my machine and Minecraft.

When I open Minecraft, I get the following error:





I've triple checked my settings, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled it on my machine, but to no avail. What's the issue here?
