    My child is trying to log in to Minecraft using the Microsoft account and it shows "you need a parent or guardian to give you access". When we follow the steps it ends up to a nonsense message: Something's not working. It is not you, it is us. I have read every stupid instructions on microsoft blogs and wasted hours of my time for this garbage sign in process. There is absolutely no way to talk to a person or even send an email to Microsoft support. The Minecraft copy I paid for is basically useless because it is attached to a trashy microsoft account. I can't believe Microsoft can be so absu

  2. Family Safety - add device to child profile

    Since this is the case and you have ensured the settings are correctly setup in family Safety, we suggest that you sign in using your main account and remove you child's account from Family Safety list. (Refer to the image below for reference.)

    After completing the steps, attempt to use the email address of your child to login to the computer and see if the same error message still shows up. If the error no longer shows up, we suggest that you attempt to add the account back then to Family safety.

    Regards.

  3. Child account missing from family safety account

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    I know the inconvenience you're experiencing with your child's account in your Microsoft Family Safety account. If your child's account has been accidentally removed from your account and you're encountering the error message stating that the account is already part of another family, here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    1. Verify account status: Double-check whether your child's account is still active and accessible. Make sure it is not associated with any other Family Safety account.
    2. Contact Microsoft support: Reach out to Microsoft customer support for assistance. Explain the situation and provide them with the necessary details, such as your account information and the account details of your child. They should be able to help you further and guide you on how to resolve the issue.
    3. Remove account from the other family: If the error message suggests that the account is part of another family, try contacting the organizer or administrator of that family and request that they remove your child's account from their family. This will allow you to re-add the account to your own Family Safety account.
    4. Create a new child account: If all else fails, you may need to create a new child account for your Family Safety account. Follow the instructions provided by Microsoft to create a new child account and set up the necessary parental controls and safety settings.
    Remember to keep track of any account-related information, such as usernames, passwords, and email addresses, to ensure smoother account management in the future.

    Best regards

    Windows 10 Family safety - child can disable all feature, why?

    Hi,

    There may be a sync issue with the restrictions that has been applied to the child account. To isolate your concern regarding Family Safety, we recommend that you follow these steps:

    • Remove the Child account on the Family Safety website.
    • Change the passwords of your account.
    • Add the Child account again.
    • Add the restrictions to the Child account again.

    Keep us updated with the results if your child will still be able to turn off the Family Safety feature after performing the steps above.
