  1. Someone added me to a Family Safety group without my knowledge or consent, I only found out...


    Basically the above. I don’t know how long I was a part of the family group, if it was created when I was a minor then someone has had access to my private information for a decade. I contacted Microsoft and they said since I was removed there is no way to tell who the family organizer was, which is information I need to get a SPO. What do I do? Is this legal?

    :)

  2. Delete Windows family safety group altogether, or remove all members

    I am unable to delete the family safety group I inadvertently added my family members to, meaning my children are now unable to use their computers for school. When trying to delete the members , I am told this cannot happen bc they are part of the consent.

    I can remove the consent, but still get the same error message. Sigh.

    Can someone help me along, or could someone at Microsoft delete the group for me, so my children can put their computers to use?

  3. Adding phone to Family Safety

    If you haven't used Family Safety before, you can skip this step. If you already use Family Safety, you'll see a screen where you need to match each Windows account to a name on the Family Safety members list.
    If a Windows account doesn't have a matching Family Safety name, click the option to add it.

    You'll recognize the people listed on the Family Safety members list as the people in your family who already use Family Safety. When you match them to their Windows accounts, you're verifying for Family Safety that each person is matched to their own correct
    settings. For example, if your child's name is Ben, he might have a Windows account named Ben but be listed in the Family Safety members list as Ben Miller. By matching the accounts, you tell Family Safety that this is the same person.

    If there's a Windows account on the computer for someone who hasn't used Family Safety before, you'll see them at the bottom of the list. When you click Add (person's name), Family Safety creates a new Family Safety
    membership for them with their Windows account name.

    You can match your existing Family Safety settings to your Windows accounts...

    Add passwords...

    It's important that all of your Windows accounts have passwords. If you have an account without a password, your kids could log on to that account and bypass their Family Safety settings.

    If the Windows accounts you're setting up to monitor don't have passwords, click Add passwords.

    If you have guest accounts on your computer, you should turn them off because kids can also use them to bypass safety settings.

    Verify your setup...

    Click Next and you'll see the Windows accounts that Family Safety is now monitoring on the computer.

    See the Windows accounts that are being monitored and what their settings are.

    Family Safety Child is not an Administrator

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Well I tried with both organizers of the group to remove the child.

    But now I get the message "You cannot remove "child" from the family group" and "Family members who are under the age of majority require adult consent to join a family group. Only the adult who granted consent for "child" can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted "child" consent to remove "child" from the family group."

    I don't see who else could have given consent to the child there. Somewhere in the Microsoft universe there must be something wrong with the children's email address.
