    Hello, I have a problem with the Microsoft family system


    So I wake up this morning and find that am 'out of chrome time' when I have never set up time restrictions. When I set up my xbox one 4 years ago I by accident made my primary account a child and created an adult account as well. The adult account has no restrictions to the child account and on the xbox the child has no restrictions either. Can anybody help with this problem.


    Additionally, if possible is there a way to merge the two accounts on the xbox or on the computer and get rid of the adult one and make the 'child one' just a simple adult account without restriction or a family without losing the data?


    Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

    :)

    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
