all my games disapeared from my account

We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. There could be several reasons why your games are not visible on your account. Check your Xbox console's storage to make sure your games are installed. They also might be tied to a different Xbox account; ensure you're logged into the right one. If you have purchased these games and they aren't showing up in your library, you might need to “Refresh” your games and apps. If your games were there as part of a subscription plan, like Xbox Game Pass, they might be gone because the subscription has expired or the game is no longer available on that service. If all else fails, please reach out to Xbox customer support for further assistance.

Trying to use family safety app and it's not working

We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the Family Safety app on your Xbox. This may be due to various reasons such as a connection issue, software bug, or a mismatched setting in your Xbox. Ensure the Xbox and the Family Safety app are both updated to their most recent versions since this usually resolves many issues. Also, remember privacy and online safety settings can only be changed by a Microsoft account that has admin privileges. Lastly, make sure your Xbox is connected to the internet and restart the console which may fix potential glitches. If the issue persists, you might need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
