    Hi We have parental consent on my daughter's laptop but as a result she is not able to access many sites needed for school. How can we remove parental consent so that she will still have her account but won't need us to approve any websites?Thank you

    :)

  2. How to confirm parental consent

    Okay, I followed these steps to chat with live support:

    Redirecting

    The conclusion we came to is that I needed to remove consent to stop getting the reminders. I explained to them that that makes no sense whatsoever, but I went ahead and did that, so now we will see if this resolves the issue. Support assured me the behavior of this account would not change.

    Note that I do not leverage any of Microsoft's functionality for account control or oversight.

    Parental consent question if I remove it can I reinstate it later?

    I want to move from one family account a kid account to another one. Microsoft only allows me to remove from the family account if I remove parental consent. Ok, I can do that, but after that, can I reinstate the parental consent? If yes, how can I do it?

    What does removing the consent of a child mean?

    Hi T{}NN,

    Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community. We understand you need help removing this restriction to access websites for your daughter. Let's go over with this together.

    What does removing the consent of a child mean? Please refer to this link for complete details

    Parental consent and Microsoft child accounts

    We have a gist of this issue yet we like to ask some important information to make sure we are on the same page.

    • Are you referring to a Microsoft account or Xbox?
    • What Windows license are you using? ex. Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise
    If you are referring to the General access, try following:

    When you're using Windows on your computer or device, you can remove an account from a family group. The account will still exist, but it won't have the benefits or family settings it had when it was in the family group. There are different ways to remove members, based on whether they needed parental consent to join your family group.

    • You can remove anyone that didn't need parental consent to join your family group. This includes organizers, members above statutory age, or member accounts in countries without parental consent requirements. To remove members without parental consent:

      1. Go to family.microsoft.com.

      2. Sign in with your Microsoft account.

      3. On your family's page under the member's name, select More options > Remove from family group, and confirm.
    • You can also remove a member below statutory age from your family group, although you must have an organizer account and be the one who gave consent. To remove members with parental consent:

      1. Go to family.microsoft.com.

      2. Sign in with your Microsoft account, then, to remove a member, scroll down and select Manage my child's profile info, find their name, select Remove consent for this child's account, and confirm.

      3. Go back to your family's page, and under the member's name, select More options > Remove from family group, and confirm.
    We hope this help! We look forward for your response.

    Sincerely,



    Microsoft Community
