  1. Why won't Microsoft Family let me leave the group?


    I am trying to get Minecraft Java to let me play multiplayer and I'm quite sure I found the issue, that I am in a microsoft family group. However I can find no way to leave, and after months of research I still can't find a way to leave the group. Me and my account is above the required age for me to leave and there is only me in the group, but there is nowhere on my profile or in the family for me to have an option to leave it. I can't find the little three dots next to my profile as there is none, and there is no way to click on my profile and remove myself from the group. If anyone can find

    :)

  2. Family Organizer Leaving Family Group

    Hello Lee Wilfert,

    Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

    • If Mother was the administrator of the Family Group, you can exit the Family Group directly, and Mother will automatically become the Family Group organizer.

      If you want to stay in the Family Group, you need to rejoin, either as an administrator or as a regular Family Group member.

      Visit Getting started with Microsoft Family Safety for more details.
    • If Mother was already a member of the Family Group, you need to remove her from the Family Group, then add it again, and need to select "Administrator" when selecting the role.
    Meanwhile, you can dissolve the Family Group, and then let the new organizer send an invitation to re-establish the Family Group. Visit Leave family group or remove members (microsoft.com) for more details.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Why not set up an admin account with documented password, add it to the family group? Then you can take your account out, and still have (or leave) an admin/family group access account available. Just a thought/suggestion...

    Why won't Microsoft Family let me leave the group?

    Leaving a family group

    Hello
    I am trying to leave a Microsoft Family. I am the only adult member of the family and wish to leave in order that I can join the rest of my family in their Family group and use their Office 365 Home subscription. I can't join the new family until I've
    left the old one. When I login and click 'leave family group' I get the message "Please try again later. We can't do this right now." How can I overcome this? Thanks for your advice.
