    How to remove Child Account as Administrator in Windows 11


    I logged in my child's account on Minecraft Launcher so she can play on the computer. But somehow found out that it also changed the whole account administrator signed up on the Windows 11 computer itself. Now we are unable to log out her account and switch back to the original adult account. We have a family account I setup so they can play on different devices. But this is getting ridiculous why is it so complicated to just log out of the microsoft account and log back into the original admin account?

    :)

    Unable to remove child account from Family

    Thanks Elise. Your suggestion worked. I contacted live chat option via "Get Help" app.

    Just for others who read this in future I had performed the following steps to solve the issue.

    1. Log into Microsoft Family Safety
    2. Select 3 dots on the top right of child's card & select "Remove consent for this child's account"
    3. It then warns, "You are about to remove parental consent for this child. They will no longer have permissions to access certain Microsoft sites and services."
    4. Click on "Remove consent" button
    5. Go back to Microsoft Family Safety home page. Wait for few seconds for settings to reflect. The child account will disappear from family home page.

    Removing child from family account

    Hello there. This is Emily.

    Just want to make sure these are the steps you followed. When you log into the organizer's account (https://account.microsoft.com) and click on Family, do you see your child's account listed? If so, click on the three dots on the child's icon and click on "Manage consent". On the next page, remove the consent first, then you can proceed to remove the child account.

    How to remove Child Account as Administrator in Windows 11

    Not to Accept Invitation from a Child Account

    Hi Timothy,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Let me try to help you to fix the issue.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue. I would suggest you to remove the child account from family safety and add it again. Follow the below steps to remove the child account.


    • To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled Select a child to view or edit their settings.

    • To remove an adult, including the account you used to sign in with, choose Remove at the top of the Adults section. If you're the only adult in the family, you'll need to remove all the kids before you can remove yourself.

    • Select the person you want to remove from the family.
    • Select the Remove button that appears when you've chosen the person to remove.
    Once you remove the account, try to add the account again and check it helps.

    https://account.microsoft.com/family#/

    Hope this helps. Post us with the status we will be glad to help you.
