Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

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.

You may refer to the link for additional information.
