Title: Unable to remove child accounts from Microsoft Family

Hello Microsoft Family Safety Team,

I am the organizer of my Microsoft Family group.

I am unable to remove my child accounts from my Microsoft Family group.

Whenever I click "Remove from family group", I receive the following message:

"You'll need to remove consent first."

However, when I click "Manage consent", the Consent Management page is completely empty. There is no option to remove or revoke parental consent.

I have already tried:

Using an Incognito/InPrivate browser.

Signing out and signing back in.

Using different browsers.

Contacting Microsoft Live Support.

The Live Support agent confirmed that this issue should be handled by the Microsoft Family Safety team.

Could you please review my Microsoft account and advise how I can remove the child accounts from my family group?

If you need my account details, I can provide them privately.

Thank you.

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Currently, there appears to be an issue on Microsoft’s server side where the option to manage consent for a child account does not load properly, and the page appears empty, as shown in the screenshot here.

I have two organizer accounts with child accounts, and I am experiencing the same issue when trying to manage consent, even though I was the one who previously provided consent for those child accounts. This may be a backend issue, and it will likely be resolved within 24–48 hours and isn't guarentted as there is no official confirmation from Microsoft.

In the meantime, I recommend submitting your feedback directly to Microsoft developers from the Microsoft Family Safety homepage:
