How to set Time limits for child account

Hi John,



It must be unfortunate that you end up with this situation. Let me help you.



This may be an issue if time user account files are corrupted. You may try these steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue.

You may need to delete if any corrupted files found, and re-download your settings from the Family Safety website. Here’s how:

• 
  Make sure your children are signed out of any monitored accounts.
  
• 
  Sign in with an administrator account and find the folder that contains the corrupted files.
  

There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to enter the complete file path:

On the Start screen, type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
ENTER.



If you want to open each folder individually and delete, you may follow these steps:

• 
  Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap
  Search.
  
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click
  Search.)
  

• 
  Make sure that Apps is selected, and then enter
  Computer in the Search box.
  

• 
  Tap or click to open the Computer app. Open
  C:, open the Program Data folder, open the
  Microsoft folder, open the Windows folder, and open the
  Parental Controls folder.
  

• 
  Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
  

This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.
