Windows 10: Unable to access Privacy and Security Options in Settings

Windows 11 Privacy and Security setting is greyed out, when I click on it it tells me to go to the app store but when I search for an app it leads to a microsoft edge add. Does that mean privacy and security settings are only available in Windows 11 if I make Edge my default browser?

cant open privacy settings

Hi Sean,

There are several possible explanations as to why you're encountering issues with accessing your Xbox account's privacy settings. Here's a list of the common factors:

• There's an ongoing Xbox Live server outage.
• You're using a child account which needs a parent permission in order to change the privacy settings.
  
• Access to Xbox Live is not yet available to your location.

For us to determine the root cause of this issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Are you using a child or a parent account?
• Have you made any changes to your Xbox account before encountering this issue?
• Have you tried using a different web browser to access your account's privacy settings?
• Are you encountering the same issue when accessing your account's privacy settings on a different device like an Xbox console?

 

Updated privacy settings will rollout today on Xbox consoles
