Hello Ollie Moriarty,
May I know if you have had the chance to check on the AI assistant suggestion yet? If you did, can you please tell me how it goes?
Before we proceed further, may I have a photo of the issue and the settings to check for you? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting.
I'm waiting for your reply.

Hey, so ive had the same exact issue with him, this happened on my friend's computer, he shared his screen so we can work this out together and we managed to set all the xbox settings for multiplayer to on, but we still cant access multiplayer, he had set a false age to be around 13 years old but we changed that to be 18+, but we still encountered problems, he had 2 accounts but set the second one accidentally as a child account, which he bought minecraft on, so he has encountered this issue, we went on the "parent's" account to remove the "child" account, we pressed to remove the account but it asks us to remove some consent, and we're unable to remove the account or delete Microsoft Family in general
Hello Anastasis Anastasopoulos,
Thanks for sharing this.
May I have a photo of the settings to check for you first? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting.
Additionally, as I know, the age of a Microsoft account is set as the point of creation, which changing it in your profile alone won't work. This was implemented to prevent real children to bypass the age verification by changing their name.
In this case, you can also try to switch the account age back and use the parent account to change the settings instead to see if it helps.
No need, we actually found a fix a couple days ago, you just need to change version to apply the changes, we went from the latest version to 1.21.11 and it just fixed, so, thats the fix for him too, probably
For child accounts, Minecraft multiplayer can stay blocked even after changing some Xbox settings because multiple family and privacy controls must align, and changes can take time to propagate.
Use this checklist on the organizer (parent) account, not the child account:
Note: In a similar case, the organizer saw Allow immediately, but the child still saw Block. It took over 24 hours for the change to apply before multiplayer started working.
If, after 24 hours, multiplayer is still disabled even though the organizer sees Allow for “You can join multiplayer games,” contact Microsoft Support from the organizer account for further investigation.
