How to Leave a Microsoft Family?
The primary goal of creating a family group is to make parental controls and internet safety for kid and teen accounts easier to manage.
From your Xbox One console, Xbox Series X|S console, the Xbox Family Settings app on mobile devices, or any Windows PC, you may manage who’s in your family group.
You may be under the age of 18 and Microsoft will not let you modify your age, leave your family despite the fact that there are no other members and you are the organizer or join another family because you are currently in one. As a result, the dilemma of how to leave your family or allow someone else into the family is likely to arise.
You may not notice a ‘leave family’ button when you go to the family settings page, so you can’t leave the family; you may be registered under a child account even though the settings were previously adult. It’s somewhat perplexing, so you might want to view some YouTube videos. However, this will just add to your confusion.
You can’t leave the family group to switch to multiplayer mode. You’re also the only one in your family group. This is also one of the most commonly encountered issues.
You can modify your age on the Microsoft website by going to your account settings. Any age above 18 can be substituted. Then, on the Microsoft website, go to “family,” and there should be a button to leave the family.
There are several ways to leave from a Microsoft family. Some of them are described below:
- Following these procedures will allow you to remove a family member from your Microsoft account
To get started, log in to your Microsoft account.

Delete the contents of the Parental Controls folder’s settings directory. Check to see whether the problem persists after rebooting the computer. If the problem persists, you should remove the child account from your Microsoft family and re-add it.

If you are over 18 years old and your Microsoft account is configured appropriately at “https://account.microsoft.com/profile,” you should be allowed to leave the family group. If your birth year is 2003 or earlier, try to leave the family group by taking the following steps:
1. Go to https://family.microsoft.com/ and type in your email address.
2. Use your Microsoft account to log in.
