  1. Microsoft Family won't stop restricting sites


    I’m 25 and I recently switched from Chrome to Edge. I noticed that I was in my MS family group and that random sites were being blocked the site for my online textbook was one. My mom told me her password so I could remove myself from the MS family group. After I successfully removed myself, I am still getting restricted from everyday sites like claude.ai. I double checked, and I am indeed removed from my microsoft family. I even downloaded the Microsoft Family Safety app and it said that I was an organizer. How can I stop Microsoft Family from restricting sites?

    :)

    Microsoft family restrictions

    Hi,

    You actually need your parent to turn off any restrictions on your account. I'm afraid you need to get yourself back to your family temporarily. These are the instructions for an adult account.

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • To remove a child, find their name, then select Content restrictions. Turn off any settings you may have enabled. Then go back to your family’s page, find the child’s name again, and select More options > Remove
      from family.
    • If you want to remove a child because they’re now an adult, or if an adult account has been misclassified as a child account, they’ll need to verify
      their account
      .

    I personally think you should be good without doing the third step, but I can't give you a guarantee.

    Hope it does the trick. In case of any issues, I'm happy to help you more when needed. If it worked, please mark the answer as helpful.

    Microsoft Family content restrictions not updating

    Hi,

    I have (as parent) added a few websites to the 'Always blocked' list on the 'content restriction' section of my Microsoft Family account. This only seem to apply to the computer where I edited the online 'content restrictions' list. On other computers,
    where I have accounts for my kids, those pages are still accessible. The computer doesn't seem to be synchronising with the online setting. How do I fix this please?
