Windows 10: How do I remove a restriction on my account or profile in the Microsoft Start Community?

If I want to leave a comment on a news story I see, I have to sign in, and when I do, there is a message that says "Account Restricted"? It seems I am blocked and am not able to do any commenting and would like to know why? I would like to have this removed so I can participate again. Thank you. * Moved from Community Center

removing microsoft account

There are no restrictions listed at https://accounts.microsoft.comYet when i try and acces chrome for instance it wil send a request to the "parent account" of which none exist and then give an error when there is no parent account to request from. I have
done as was suggested by another microsoft employee and added myself to their family and removed restrictions and removed myself from the family again but as i said in the question, i still have the restrictions in place and microsoft has not given any real
help with my issue short of what was previously listed.

To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Device still listed under Microsoft account after removing it

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while removing a device from your Microsoft account.



As you have mentioned that you have removed the device from the Microsoft account, it could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your
profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive and see if that helps.



You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.

1. Login to
   https://onedrive.live.com.
   
2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
   
3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
   Remove PC.
   

You can refer the screenshot for more help.





If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
