To turn off Microsoft parental controls, you’ll need to follow a few steps. Please note that I’ll be explaining the process from a first-person perspective, as if I were the one performing the actions.
1. First, open the Start menu and click on the “Settings” option. It looks like a gear icon and is usually located at the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. Within the Settings menu, scroll down and click on the “Accounts” option. It typically has a user icon next to it.
3. In the left sidebar of the Accounts menu, you’ll find various account-related options. Look for and click on the “Family & other users” option.
4. Once you’re in the Family & other users settings, you’ll see a list of accounts associated with your Microsoft family. Locate the child account for which you want to turn off parental controls.
5. To make changes to the child account’s settings, click on the “Manage family settings online” or “remove an account” option. This will open a web browser and take you to the Microsoft Family website.
6. If prompted, sign in with your adult Microsoft account credentials. Only an adult account within the Microsoft family can make changes to parental control settings.
7. On the Microsoft Family website, you’ll find a range of options to manage the child account’s settings. To turn off parental controls, navigate to the appropriate section, which may be labeled as “Parental controls,” “Screen time,” or something similar.
8. Within the parental control settings, you should be able to find an option to disable or turn off the controls for the child account. The exact steps may vary depending on the version of Windows you’re using, but it generally involves toggling a switch or unchecking a box.
9. Once you’ve made the necessary changes, be sure to save or apply the settings.
That’s it! You have successfully turned off parental controls for the child account in Microsoft Family. Remember to communicate with your child about the changes you have made and discuss any new rules or expectations.
