Windows 10: How to disable Family Safety Settings on Windows 11?

I just got a new laptop and for some reason my Microsoft account now has family safety features enabled even though I've never noticed them prior to now. I've tried methods that I've seen online and so far, they've all not worked. I just tried going to a website for a marketplace based in Europe cardmarket.com if that helps at all and it won't let me make an account without the "parent" allowing permission even though my personal account is the only one in the Microsoft family page. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Methods tried:- Going to "services.msc" and disabling it there. Didn't

Setting up Family safety settings in Windows

Hello Ajay,

I realize that you are trying to setup the Microsoft Family Safety settings.

• Which version of operating system are you using to setup the Family Safety?

If you are using the Windows 10 then I suggest you to refer the below information and check if it helps.

It’s easy to share your Windows 10 PC with family members. Add family members using "Add a family member" from your PC's Settings, and they’ll be able to use that PC as well. And you're always in control. You can allow or block them from using
a PC at any time.

Add kids to your family to help them stay safer online. Adults in the family can view reports of kids’ online activity, limit how long and when they use their devices, and help make sure they don't see inappropriate websites, apps, or games.

I suggest you to create a family safety account in Windows 10
and check if it helps.

Family Safety on Windows 11

I had Family Safety features set up on a laptop with Windows 10. That laptop was upgraded to Windows 11. Will all the same Family Safety features automatically still apply to the user account? I see in the Family Safety dasboard some settings say specifically they only apply to Windows 10. Or, do I have to set it up separately again using Windows 11?

Hello Michael,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps you regarding the
family safety settings.

Turn off family settings in Windows 10

• To turn off family settings for a child in your family, sign in at account.microsoft.com/family. Then choose one of these
  options:
  • Remove them from family settings by choosing Remove, then selecting their account, then selecting
    Remove again. They’ll still be able to sign in to their PCs, but this will remove any family limits that you set.
  • Or select them from the main family page, which will bring you to their Recent activity. If
    Activity reporting is turned On, turn it
    Off. Then repeat for the other settings pages (Web browsing, Apps, games & media, Screen time, Purchase & spending), making sure that those switches are turned
    Off.
