Windows 10: Do I have to disable family features to stop the pop-up?

The constantly reappearing Microsoft family features pop-up window has been described in many posts see below. I have not found any explanation of why this happens. All the posts suggest removing the family features by disabling this or that. Is this feature completely broken? Why does it even exist is the only way to avoid it is to disable something in a deep dark corner of Windows? My kid is in the family and I would like to keep it that way. Every time he signs in, the pop-up window will reappear in a matter of seconds. How can this be remedied?https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/

Stop the Family Feature Pop Up

Microsoft already told me to to the following. I have tried them, but they do not work. Microsoft Family Features do not show up.

• Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  
• Type "netplwiz" and press Enter.
  
• In the User Accounts window, select your account and uncheck the box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
  
• Click Apply and enter your password if prompted.
  
• Restart your computer and check if the pop-up still appears.
  

If the above steps do not work, you can try disabling the Microsoft Family Features service by following these steps:

• Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  
• Type "services.msc" and press Enter.
  
• In the Services window, scroll down and locate the "Microsoft Family Features" service.
  
• Right-click on the service and select Properties.
  
• Change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click Apply.
  
• Restart your computer and check if the pop-up still appears.
  

I have tried these steps but they do not work. I still get the popup. During a proctored final exam, it popped up and I got flagged for cheating. I may be expelled from school because no one could help me figure out how to prevent the popup. How do I prevent this popup from happening? I am fed up with this. I have already performed these troubleshooting steps and Microsoft Family Features does not show up within them.
