  2. Merging Family accounts

    Hi,

    It's great to keep your family accounts properly for the best experience, especially for family safety. We would suggest removing the existing family accounts to let the user accounts inside it to be added to the other family account. You may refer to this
    link
    Remove members from your Microsoft family for the steps in removing a user account in the family and

    Add members to your Microsoft family for the steps in adding them to an existing family.

    Do get back to us with the results and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to post back.

  3. adding family members and users

    Hi Tim,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are facing issues with adding family members and users. I'll certainly help you with it.

    I would suggest you to sign out from the computer and sign in again using the Microsoft account and check if the issue persist.

    For reference:
    Family member accepted invite to family, but does not show in parent account

    Adding User Errors

    Hi,

    The error message that you’ve encountered can be caused by an invalid or corrupted registry keys. You may also get the same error when your computer shuts down
    unexpectedly. To learn more about your concern with adding a user, we’d like to ask the following questions:

    • Are you also getting the error when you add a user?
    • Were there any changes or updates made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so for to resolve your concern?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the System File Checker tool. This will scan and restore the corrupted system files on your device. Check this
    article
    for the steps.

    We’ll wait for your response.
