  1. My account thinks I am a child


    Hi! Recently I installed Windows 10 on my pc. I tried to sync my accounts and created my own sesion using one of them. When I tried to install a program, Windows asked me to type an ''administrator password''. When I went to see if I could turn my own sesion into an administrator one I noticed that it said ''Patricio Pannucio, administrator, child''. I immediately went to see if there was something wrong with my account info but there's nothing: it correctly states my date of birth which determines that I am a 26 y/o man, so I really don't get how it can confuse me for a child. Furthermore, I cannot change my status as ''child'' and Windows keeps asking me to type an ''administrator password''. Is there any way I can solve this problem without creating a new account? I'd like to keep the one I have since I mostly use it for my job.


    Best regards,

    Pat

    Child Account Get Greyed Out

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

    I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

    On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.

  3. Child account

    I did set up a Child account, I did fallow all the steps window ask, the account say that the child is in the family, when I tried to log, give me the message "The Profile Service service Failed The Sign-in. User Profile cannot be loaded".

    Answering your questions:

    • Did you make any changes to the child account prior to the issue? No, I did not make any changes.
    • Since when you are facing this issue? Right from the start. I never got to login.
    • Are you able to login with other child accounts on the computer? No
    I suggest you to restart the computer once and check if you are able to login to the computer. I did, the same problem, I do not have any problem with my account or my wife.

    Thank you for your help.

    David.

    Not Tracking Web Browsing Activity on Child Account

    Hello,

    I had already read that article and tried all those steps mentioned before posting on this forum. Nothing worked. I am still not able to see the web activity on my child's account.

    I have already verified that the Family Safety Service is connected to my PC and that my child has the PC listed as a device on their account. My child's account is listed as "child" on my PC account settings. When I sign into the child's account, I have
    verified that Family Safe Monitoring is running because the icon is in the task bar.

    This response was not helpful, because as I stated in my original post, I had already read several articles on troubleshooting this issue and nothing worked.

    Can you offer me other suggestions that are not mentioned in that Wiki Article?
