    Family Restrictions while accessing apps


    Recently I have removed my account from my family group and had it converted into an adult account. My age and birth date are up to date, which means this shouldn't be a child account


    However, when I try to access certain apps, I get this message:


    Family Restrictions while accessing apps 8a4918ca-238f-46c2-8d79-09ce4ab37eb6?upload=true.png


    If I try to ask by email, I get another error message:


    Family Restrictions while accessing apps 8fb23541-1728-4edd-b7fe-903efeb52844?upload=true.png


    There's no one I can ask for permission because my account isn't linked to any family members. I'm the only person using this computer and I'm logged in as an administrator. I want to remove all family features from my account and keep them turned off, what can I do to achieve that?

  3. Preventing access to modern app


    Ive been tasked with preventing the children from accessing instagram. I've got it listed in my windows hosts file and internet options/security/restricted site but the windows 10 app is still allowing access. Any suggestions other then deleting app which can just be reinstalled?

    Microsoft family restrictions

    Hi,

    You actually need your parent to turn off any restrictions on your account. I'm afraid you need to get yourself back to your family temporarily. These are the instructions for an adult account.

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • To remove a child, find their name, then select Content restrictions. Turn off any settings you may have enabled. Then go back to your family’s page, find the child’s name again, and select More options > Remove
      from family.
    • If you want to remove a child because they’re now an adult, or if an adult account has been misclassified as a child account, they’ll need to verify
      their account
      .

    I personally think you should be good without doing the third step, but I can't give you a guarantee.

    Hope it does the trick. In case of any issues, I'm happy to help you more when needed. If it worked, please mark the answer as helpful.
