Question

how to disable ask to buy from my childs xbox on my computer

Answer 1

To disable “Ask to buy” (purchase approval) for a child’s Xbox account from a computer, change the child’s family spending/approval settings in the Microsoft family group.

On Xbox itself, “Ask a parent” is controlled in the child’s Xbox privacy settings:

1. Sign in on the Xbox with an organizer’s Microsoft account.
2. Press the Xbox button and go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Family settings.
3. Select Manage family members, then select the child.
4. Go to Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy > View details & customize > Buy & download.
5. Change the Ask a parent option from On to Off.

From a PC, use the family spending/approval settings described in the Microsoft Store and Family Safety guidance (spending limits and approval requirements) to remove the requirement for adult approval on purchases for that child account.

If more changes are needed (for example, adjusting other restrictions), manage the child’s account through the Microsoft family group.
