    How do I get games I purchase in the Store to show up on Family Member


    I am the parent. I have my family set up on account.microsoft.com


    I purchased Mimecraft on my account and though I could share this software so my 11 year old could play it.


    If my child is logged into the MS store Mimecraft does not show as being owned. I see now way to download it from my childs account.


    When I log into my account on the childs computer, I can see Mimecraft installed and can launch it.


    How can I get Minecraft on my kids computer.


    Windows 10 Home 1909



    Thank you

    :)

    Game sharing with family members

    Hi,

    I have just purchased Froza Horizon 4 Standard edition from Microsoft Store on Windows 10 PC. It downloaded and Installed overnight. Seems to work fine on my account/profile.

    I want to share it with other Family members who have microsoft accounts and are listed as my family members. I believe this is possible with xbox play anywhere games.

    Logged into one childs account, went to microsoft store, found game but it seems to want me to buy it again! Should it just say Install instead of Buy?

    We dont have an xbox console. Do we need any other xbox stuff( pass, software etc.)?

    Thanks for any sugestions.

    Store game not showing as purchased ... and not playable

    My son purchased the Store game PuppetShow: Porcelain Smile. His account wallet showed that there was a deduction for the proper amount. His list of purchases does NOT show the purchase.

    When attempting to load the game,he gets a dialog box stating "You'll need to ask an adult in your family if you can use:" <the game name>. This appears to be a common problem based on searches. This then becomes an unresolvable loop failure.

    We need to have the purchased game show up and become playable.

    Hi, RRotter,

    I am an Independent Advisor and will assist you.

    Have you contacted Microsoft Store about the issue?

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/28808/...

    Is the child signing into the device under your account with his own PIN number?

    Have you checked your account to determine if the game is listed in your purchases?

    Have you tried logging into your child's Store account using your PIN number instead of his?

    Check the steps listed in this thread on Sharing apps with Family
