  1. Children Account does not work properly in Windows 10 Pro


    He,llo I have created a children account in the family function a while back. It works nice in Win 10 Home on a notebook, so login times, apps and websites are limited to the settings I have made. But now I have allowed my daughter to use another desktop PC, and this one has Win 10 Pro. Limiting on apps and web contents still work fine. But login time is ignored by the Win 10 Pro computer, she can log in at any time even if it's not allowed. Both computers have Win 10 Pro 1909 with latest end of January optional updates.


    I already tryed different things like deleting the account from Win 10 Pro computer and rebild it. I also unassigned login there, and assigned back. I have removed her account from family and reassigned again. No change, it's still the same.


    What can I do? Or is that a bug in 10 Pro which needs to be fixed? I don't like to downgrade that PC from Pro to Home

    :)

    adding user accounts for children

    The customer:

    "It is overbearing for Microsoft to require children to either have an e-mail or phone number"

    The (unhelpful technician):

    "I suggest you to follow the steps how to create the child account as below and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key and select settings.
    • Click on Account and select Family and other users.
    • Then click add someone else to this pc and select add child’s account
    • Enter the child’s email address and click on Next."

    This is becoming such a trend. Please read the details that someone has gone to the trouble of providing so that you can respond HELPFULLY.

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Children Account does not work properly in Windows 10 Pro

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Children Account does not work properly in Windows 10 Pro :(
