    How do I remove or change a child account with administrator privileges? MS Family won't...


    While going through the Windows 11 initialization process on our new Dell desktop PC, we inadvertently added a child account. Our Family Group now consists of the single child account with no other family members and no other adults. This seems to be a catch-22 because we: 1 can't remove the child account; 2 can't add an adult account requires permission of another adult in the family group; 3 can't change to child account birth date to make it an adult; and 4 can't assign admin privileges to another account.I've been through all of the help I can find but haven't seen anything a

  3. Windows 10 Child Account has Adminsitrative Privileges

    I have created a new user account using a new email address that was setup as a child account. I have verified the account as the adult and the account shows up in my family settings as a child account. I added this account to a pc and it displays as a
    child account with standard user privileges when logged in with the adult administrator account. However, when logged in as the child account it displays "administrator" under the user name in account settings, and it is able to change other user's settings,
    install programs, etc. - all functions that should be disabled for child/standard accounts. Can you please explain how to remove administrative privileges from the child account?

    How to change an "other users" account to a family child account

    I have the exact same problem. I have read this entire thread and still find no solution to the problem. My computer has updated to windows 10 as well. My child's account is now under the
    other users accounts and I want to transfer him to a
    family child account without having to create a new account and be able to place child restriction settings. However, the solution you provided doesn't help. This is what your instruction entails...

    If your child already has a user account on your PC, you can still add them to your family.


    • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap
      Change PC settings.

      (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click
      Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)

    • Tap or click Accounts, and then tap or click Other accounts.

    • Select the account you want, and then tap or click Edit.

      If your child doesn't have a standard user account, see the previous To create a new child's account steps.

    • In the Account type list, select Child and then tap or click
      OK. ---->>> This part doesn't exist. It only gives you the option to change account type from
      local account to administrator. What I want to do is move the existing account to family CHILD account! PLEASE PROVIDE NEW SOLUTION ASAP!!!! THANK YOU!
