Turn off Microsoft Family features pop up in Windows 10
There are three ways to get rid of this turn off Microsoft family features pop up message. The first is to change the birthdate, the second is removing yourself from the family account, and lastly, is asking the Adult member of the Microsoft family account to reset.
- Change Birthdate.

Now you need to go back to your Microsoft account and restart the computer for changes to take effects.
3] Leave the Family group and reset
It is a reset method that you can apply if nothing else works. You will always be able to perform re-setup using the same or new Microsoft without losing anything. If you have added benefits like Microsoft Office, OneDrive storage, make sure to use the same.
- First, make sure to remove all child accounts by following the methods we mentioned above.
