Windows 10: I have logged into my old Microsoft account from when I was younger and it had time limit,...

When I look at what to do online it tells me to sign into local account but it is not showing the option and I'm guessing it's because it's a child account.



-I am an admin

-I was trying to download an app on the Microsoft store.


Thanks, Kishan




PS. I'm not Indian I understand English

time limits not working on child account

I have two children, each with their own Microsoft account. My older child's account works just as it should, but the time limits my younger child's account spontaneously turn off. I tried calling Microsoft support, but they were unable to resolve the
problem (or speak English clearly). My account password is currently 22 characters long, I change it often, and I have 2 step verification, so I'm pretty sure my kid is not hacking in and turning it off. I also checked recent account activity and it showed
no log in to my account when the time limits turn off. Has anyone else experienced this problem? were you able to resolve it?
