  1. Account validation settings renewing in 13 months, now I cant manage family settings


    I setup a family account so I could get minecraft for my daughter. Microsoft blocked my daughter's account from accepting the copy of minecraft I gifted her and when I tried to change her setting it says MY account is waiting for a security renewal that won't come into effect for another 13 months. How do I get this "security" defect corrected so I can try and give my child permission to play a game I paid for her and now have lost in limbo?!

    :)

    Bypass Family Settings by conversion to Local Account


    I assumed that you had created a child (family) account, not creating a local normal account then converting it.

    In your case I would simply copy his personal stuff to an external backup drive, remove his account and start from scratch. Takes a few minutes but in doing so you get better control.

    When you have removed his account, this is Phase 1 in recreating a controlled child account to him: Child Account - Add or Remove from Your Family in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums. When done, restore his personal content to respective folders under his user profile folder.

    Doing this he has no way to switch to a local account.

    Then, the more you have patience to read, the more practical tips you will get:

    Bypass Family Settings by conversion to Local Account


    What you describe should be impossible. To test this I just now created a child account on my PC and signing in to it tried to change it to either an admin account or a local account. Could not do that.

    The only way your son can change his account to a local account and "remove" it from Family, or create a new account is to have access to an admin account on that same PC (your account), or alternatively access to your admin MS account's Family settings online. For that he needs both your MS account username and password. It means that if you protect your own personal admin account (MS account) with a strong password and especially the Two-Step Verification, he has no way to access that account and he should not be able / is not able to change your Family settings or his account status.

    How to delete an adult account in the Family Settings.

    Hi,

    To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • As an adult in the family account, sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Under Your family, click
      Remove
      .
    • Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
    • You will get an email confirmation once the child has been removed from the family.
    Note: If you removed a Child account, it will be tagged as an "Orphaned account" and you will need to attach another "Parent account".

    Regards.
