  1. Screen limits not working right. Help!


    Windows 10 Pro PC

    I have two kids with screen limits, and two different Microsoft accounts, and this behavior happens:

    When child A tries to log in during the morning, it uses child B's allowed times. Child A is supposed to have to log in later.

    When child A tries uses the computer, MOST of the time goes into child B's activity. Child A only ends up only showing 10-20 min of activity per day usually. Today, it was 1 min. Child A was definitely on more than 1 min.

    Tonight, child A was able to use the computer an hour longer than supposed to be allowed before it child A out.

    Activity updates usually 6 hrs too late.


    Don't send me the two articles here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ft-account-fix-screen-time-limits-not-working and here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026772/microsoft-account-fix-family-activity-reporting . I've already done everything.

    I've checked the computer time, it's correct.

    I have all updates.

    I've tried removing their accounts from family, one-by-one, and re-adding.

    I've tried changing their limits between for all devices and for Windows 10 only multiple times.

    I've tried re-adding their times.


    I looked around Reddit and other places and LOTS of people are having trouble with screen time. The latest update is supposed to fix issues, so I don't know if people realize it's still broken, at least for some people.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
