    Family linked user account - Standard


    I 'blocked' my sons' account temporarily. Attempting to bring it back, through Family settings, it shows as 'can sign in', allowed, however, his login option does not appear when trying to switch users. I have rebooted the system as well. I found a suggestion for an mmc command, to add local users, however, receive error message that this is not available older 2016 post I saw referenced. Thank you in advance, appreciate any insights. DawnS.

  2. calendar & mail work in administrator account but not on standard user one

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    This issue occurs if the standard user account is corrupted.

    1) Are you able to access and use other apps in the standard user account?

    I suggest you to remove the standard user account and then try to create a new standard user account and check if it helps.

    To remove follow the below steps.

    1) Open Settings and click on Accounts.

    2) Next select Family and other users.

    3) Click on the standard user account and click on Remove.

    To add user account follow the below steps.

    1) Open Settings and click on Accounts.

    2) Next select Family and other users.

    3) Click on Add other sure to this PC and then follow the on screen instructions to create the New standard User Account.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to run the Microsoft Account troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Refer to the following link to run the troubleshooter:

    Hope it helps. Let us know the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    Restricting the Access of a Standard User who is NOT part of my family

    Thank you, but I'm not sure this was very helpful. My standard user is not a part of my family. I cannot see his account when I log in to manage family accounts.

    The article you referred to only seems to apply to Family Users. Again, he's not part of my family users. Under Account Settings, he is listed under Other Accounts.

    And I'm not sure why you're calling me Angela.

    I did what you suggested, but he is still not showing up as part of my family.

  4. Family linked user account - Standard

    Family members user accounts


    For some reason the native photos app has got broken on my wife and sons user accounts (both standard accounts). I cannot fix it. On my own administrator account it works fine. There was a recent photos app update which I think is what screwed it up! Anyway I tested creating a test user account and the photos app works fine if a new account gets created. So I was thinking of deleting both their MS user accounts on my PC and creating them again.

    But do I need to remove them as family members also via my outlook website login family tab before I recreate their user accounts again, they are both listed as family members on there and are associated with the PC name. Or can I just delete their user accounts and re-add them as family members on my PC without these shenanigans. It would save time as when you create a family member normally you have to then get them to login to their email and accept etc.

    thanks, wayne
