  1. Microsoft Family Won't Let Me Leave the Group


    I've logged into Microsoft family as the following article asks and tried the steps. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/leave-family-group-or-remove-members-6d806bbb-eb38-a978-10f4-3bbb814ffcc4However, there is no three-dot menu for me to click on over my name. I don't have a family group, and I don't remember signing up for one. Every time I open my laptop a popup asks me to sign in so my 'parents' can monitor screentime or validate purchases, but this is my account as an adult. I've had my email since I was younger, so maybe it's some carryover from that? Regardless, there i

  2. Family Organizer Leaving Family Group

    Hello Lee Wilfert,

    Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

    • If Mother was the administrator of the Family Group, you can exit the Family Group directly, and Mother will automatically become the Family Group organizer.

      If you want to stay in the Family Group, you need to rejoin, either as an administrator or as a regular Family Group member.

      Visit Getting started with Microsoft Family Safety for more details.
    • If Mother was already a member of the Family Group, you need to remove her from the Family Group, then add it again, and need to select "Administrator" when selecting the role.
    Meanwhile, you can dissolve the Family Group, and then let the new organizer send an invitation to re-establish the Family Group. Visit Leave family group or remove members (microsoft.com) for more details.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    leave a family group

    Hi there!

    I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

    To remove yourself from the group, you can follow these steps outlined here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    Leaving or being removed from a family group will not delete Microsoft accounts. However, family groups without an organizer and at least one other family member will be deleted.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Let's work together to resolve the issue.

    Best regards,
