We Couldn T Connect To Microsoft Family Right Now

We couldn’t connect to Microsoft family right now, so your family on this device might not be up to date

The error shows up under Settings > Accounts > Family and other accounts. Here you can choose to add members and allow them to sign-in. But instead, you get an error that Windows cannot connect to Microsoft Family.  I believe that it’s happening because Windows 11/10 is not able to associate the current account with Microsoft Family. If you face this issue, try the following suggestions:

1] Restart PC and try once

Restart your PC and your router and then try once and see if that works.

2] Use a Microsoft account

When you try to access this feature with a local admin account, it will give the said error. Since the local account is not associated with a Microsoft account, the error becomes apparent. You need to convert the local account into Microsoft account and then add your family.

3] Switch Microsoft account to local and back to Microsoft account or add another Microsoft account

It is the same thing as above, but if your Microsoft account has the same problem, you have two choices.

Switch the current account to local, and then back to Microsoft account.Or you can add another Microsoft account, who is also a parent in the Family account, and then add then use that account to add other family members.

4] Run Internet Connections troubleshooter

Run Internet Connections troubleshooter and see if that helps.

5] Run the Microsoft Account Troubleshooter
