    Administrator involuntarily changed into child account?


    What is wrong with this feature?

    I added a child account some time ago, and everything was alright, but I deleted it some time after. I removed it, and its data completely from the windows and made sure there was no trace of it. My account was administrator and the head of the family, in your feature.

    But now, I have to ask for an adult's permission to access something. What adult should I ask? I am an adult myself, and more relevantly, the administrator. And even when I click on "Ask by E-mail", here's what it says:

    Something went wrong

    We’re working on it – try again in a little bit.



    This is really stupid and frustrating, I can't imagine how on earth has my account lost its privileges.

    :)

  2. 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.

    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.
