  1. Child account unable to login unless admin is logged in


    Newly built PC. I setup an admin account as the main account me. I then set up a child account with parental-controls. When we boot up the system, trying to select and log in as the child does nothing. I have to log in to the administrator account first, then log out, and then the child account can login. I don't want to be here every time he needs to log in and I'm guessing this isn't how it is designed to work. Thoughts?

    :)

  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.

    Can’t log into child account

    Hi Sheila,

    It is possible that you're trying to login the child account using the parent device or computer. To properly isolate this issue, we'd like to ask some questions:

    • Are you trying to log into the child account using the child's device or computer?
    • Have you tried removing the child account from the family account and add it again?
    • Have you tried logging in the child account to other computer to check if the credentials are correct?

    We hope to hear from you soon.
