I removed my Microsoft account from my family group and changed my birth date, but Xbox still says I’m not old enough to create an Xbox profile. My account is still being treated as a child account. Could you refresh or check my Xbox profile?

Hello,

Why this happens: Microsoft's system prevents accounts originally created as "child accounts" from converting themselves into "adult accounts" simply by changing the birth date or leaving a family group (to prevent minors from bypassing restrictions on their own). Your account is currently stuck in an "unmanaged child" status.

The step-by-step solution:

Sign in with an adult account (a parent's account or any other account with an age set above 18) at family.microsoft.com.

Invite your affected account and re-add it to the Family Group as a member/child.

From the adult account dashboard, go to Manage My Child's Profile Info (or Manage Consent) and grant full permissions for Xbox services.

Once permissions are granted, log into your account at account.xbox.com/settings and set all Online Safety options to Allow.

You can now safely remove your account from the family group again, and it will function as an independent adult account.

(Note: If you changed your birth date very recently, it may take 24 to 48 hours to fully sync across Xbox servers).

Hello 가윤 이

I’m sorry you are still being blocked after updating your birth date. Unfortunately, community moderators cannot view or refresh an Xbox profile because we do not have access to Microsoft account systems.

Microsoft’s official instructions depend on whether parental consent has already been associated with the account. If consent exists, the adult account that originally provided it must open Manage child accounts and choose Edit this child’s personal info. If no consent exists, the account should prompt for an adult to complete the consent process first.

Please follow the official guide here: Correct the birth date on a Microsoft account.

If the information is already correct but Xbox still blocks profile creation, you will need to contact Microsoft Support, as this cannot be manually corrected from the community forum.

Thank you for your understanding
