    Generic Kids Account and Screen Limit on Laptop


    I have a generic local account set up on a Win 10 laptop for my kids. I would like to limit usage of that to not be useable after 10PM. I have multiple kids and don't want to go through the process of creating a single account for each one of them in order to do what should be a simple "click button X to not let User Acct Y use this laptop after 10PM". Is that possible?


    This feels really really simple and creating a Family account, then creating single accounts for every kid and then setting restrictions on each of those accounts seems like an overly complex solution.

    :)

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10. 



    I understand the inconvenience that you are facing on Windows 10, we will help you with this issue.



    In order to assist you better, I would like to know the following queries:

    • Is the issue confined to a particular user account?
    • What type of account have you logged into? Is it a Microsoft account or local account?
    • Have you logged in as an Administrator?
    • Do you get any error message when you try to restrict your kid to use computer?


    To turn on Family Safety, you or at least one designated parent needs an
    administrator account; the kids you choose to monitor each need a standard user account.



    To check whether the account you are logged in is administrator or not please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R key.
    • Type netplwiz and hit enter.
    • See the account you are logged in with.


    If you are not logged in as an administrator, I suggest you try logging in as administrator and check.



    I would recommend you to reconfigure the Family Safety settings and check if it works.

    You can refer link below to setup the account.

    Set up your kids' accounts in Family Safety

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/set-up-kids-accounts#1TC=t1

    Note: Applies to Windows 10.



    Once that is setup, refer this link to setup the limits for the accounts.



    Limit when and how your kids can use the PC

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/limit-setting-kids-pc#1TC=t1

    Note: Applies to Windows 10.



    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.



    Thank you.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
