How to Remove Automatic Content Restrictions on Xbox?

-

Hey everyone, I’ve run into a frustrating issue on my Xbox. It looks like there’s a content restriction set for users 14 and under, but I’m not in any family group or anything. It seems to have been automatically set, and I can’t figure out how to remove it. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried checking the settings? Sometimes these restrictions can be changed directly, but if it insists on adding you to a Microsoft family to modify those settings, that’s a bit tricky. Let me know if you’ve looked around there yet!

Yeah, I can’t change it without creating a family group, which is a pain. My parents don’t even have Microsoft accounts!
