I know this isn't a strictly Microsoft question but I'll ask anyways. Everytime I go to install a game from game pass a thing pops up and says that I cant becuase of a content restriction. No mater what i do I can't fix it, I have messed with parental controls, I changed my age even though I should have been old enough to not have to worry about it but it still won't work. I don't know what to do and I don't particularly want to make a new account but thats the only thing I can think of at this point

    To address age restriction issues on Xbox, you should consider the following steps:

    1. Check Parental Controls: Ensure that the parental controls on your account are set correctly. If you are part of a family group, the family organizer may have set restrictions that affect your account.
    2. Family Account Settings: If you are using a child account, certain privileges may be restricted by default. You may need to ask the family organizer (parent or guardian) to approve access to specific content or features.
    3. Age Verification: Make sure that your account age is correctly set. If you have changed your age, it may take some time for the system to update. If you are over the age limit, ensure that your profile reflects this.
    4. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the problem and ensure that your account settings are correct.
    5. Consider Account Recreation: If all else fails and you are unable to resolve the restrictions, creating a new account may be a last resort, but it is advisable to exhaust all other options first.

    These steps should help you resolve the content restriction issue you're experiencing when trying to install games from Game Pass.
