Windows 10: Family Devices not showing in Microsoft Account

Win7ine · Jun 18, 2021

https://account.microsoft.com Used to be able to see family devices, windows machines under Devices listed in the Microsoft Account Online in the Web Browser. The permission for this is set for each Family member and still can be toggled under each Organiser.

Just to confirm, have you tried using a different browser and check if the issue persists? Since doing the steps provided on the link didn't help you resolve your concern, we would suggest you to recreate your son's account on the Alienware computer. To
do so, kindly follow the steps below:

Go to Settings.

Click Accounts.

Click Family and other
users.

Click Sign in with
a local account instead (to convert her account to a local account).

After doing so, delete the local account. To delete a local account, kindly follow the steps below:

Go to Settings.

Click Accounts.

Click Family and other
users.

Click the local account and then, click Remove.

A new window will open, click Delete account and data.

After deleting the local account, re-link the Microsoft account of your son as a user, then add it to your family.

Changes in Microsoft family

Changes in Microsoft family

There’s a lot happening over the next few months. We’ll update this page regularly to give you the latest on Microsoft family.

Updates

Recent activity you can act on

On the redesigned recent activity page, you can see how your kids are spending their time on each PC, from the apps and games they’re using to the websites they’re visiting. And while you’re looking at their recent activity, you can decide whether or not something is right for them, and block or allow it right there.

Simpler settings
We’ve heard your feedback that some of the settings are too confusing and hard to use. So, we’ve made some changes to make it easier -

For web filtering, we reduced the options down to a few crucial ways to keep your kids safe when they're online. We now automatically block adult content in their web browsers, and if your kids are very young, you can allow them to access only specific web sites that you want them to see.

For apps & games, we've simplified how restrictions are set. You can choose an age setting for them, and based on that, they'll be able to only download apps and games that have been rated appropriate for their age.

For screen timers, we've taken the complex graphs and settings and simplified them down, while giving you the flexibility to easily control when your kids can use the PC.

We believe all these changes will make it easier for you to manage your kids settings on their Windows devices.

A new home for family
Family Safety is now part of account.microsoft.com, which is the single place to manage everything connected to your account. To manage your family and kids’ settings, go to account.microsoft.com/family. Right now some of the settings pages still live on the old site—some things will look the same, and some will look different—but over the next few months, everything will be updated and moved to account.microsoft.com/family.

Changes to linked accounts
If you’ve linked your kids’ Family Safety accounts, you’ll see that each of them are listed individually and that you now have to manage their settings separately for each device. We know this may be painful for some of you, but we’re doing this to make way for a simpler, better experience: roaming your child’s settings with their Microsoft account. We appreciate your patience as we make these changes. A few other notes:

If devices show up on your list that you no longer use, you can select “Remove” to get rid of them.

You’ll get a separate activity report email for each device.

Coming soon

Kids’ settings go with them
On Windows 10, you’ll need a Microsoft account in order to use Microsoft family whether you’re a part of a family as an adult or a child. When kids are added to a Microsoft family with a Microsoft account, any time they sign in to a Windows 10 device, their settings will be applied and their activity will be reported to the adults in their family. Adults can always turn off activity reporting or remove kids from the Microsoft family at account.microsoft.com/family.
