Sorry, something went wrong.

We’re not sure what happened, but refreshing the page may help, or trying again in a little while.

Installed and Re-installed software. Tried doing all the steps including re-signing in. Still the same error.

    For Microsoft Family Safety app sign-in or request loops that keep returning “Sorry, something went wrong”, use this order:

    1. On the child’s PC, open Settings > Accounts > Your info.
      • If Verify appears, select it and complete sign-in with the child’s Microsoft account.
    2. Open Settings > Accounts > Family.
      • Confirm the child is signed in with the same Microsoft account that is listed in Family Safety.
      • Confirm the account is a Standard user, not an administrator.
    3. Repair the Family Safety app.
      • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
      • Select Microsoft Family Safety > Advanced options > Repair.
      • If Repair does not fix it, use Reset.
      • Note: Reset can remove the app’s local data.
    4. Restart the PC after the repair or reset.

    If the issue is specifically that a child cannot access non-Microsoft apps and sees a Family error, the parent may need to re-grant consent for 3rd-party apps. That error occurs when consent was granted without allowing 3rd-party apps.

    Hey there, Vishwanathan S

    If this is the Microsoft Family Safety app available through the Microsoft store app, here: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PDJDJS743XF?hl=en-gb&gl=GB&ocid=pdpshare, then please can you tell me if you have the latest version of Windows installed on your PC?

    I always found the apps available on the Apple and Google app stores better then the Windows store version. Instead, on a Windows device, it is often easier to visit the website here: https://family.microsoft.com

    Have you tried downloading the Microsoft Family app on your phone?

    If not, please try and download it and sign into your Microsoft account, does it work as expected?

    Hope this helps,
    Nathan
