    Microsoft edge parental features can't distinguish between accounts


    I created my daughter an account on my PC using her Microsoft account. My own PC account is a local account, not a Microsoft account.Ever since I added my daughters login to the PC, my Edge Chromium browser thinks I'm her, even though I'm signed into the PC as my local account, and the browser using my own Microsoft account, which is the Family Manager.The requests come through to the Family app saying that my daughter is requesting access to the website that I'm trying to view.I've tried different profiles in Edge, but nothing has worked. Very frustrating to the point where I'm ready to ditch

    Microsoft edge parental features can't distinguish between accounts

    I can't use certain features on Forza Horizon 3 due to parental control.

    Hi,

    If you're using a child account, there are certain limitations imposed on your Xbox account. This could be the reasons as to why you can't access certain features on the game. To resolve this issue, you need to manage the privacy and online safety settings
    of your child account by using the parent account associated to it. To give you an idea, only the parent account is eligible to manage the privacy and online safety settings of the child account. To get started, kindly perform the following steps:

    • Sign in the parent account on this link.
    • Select the Child account.
    • Make the changes that you need on the privacy and online safety settings.

    Let us know with the result after performing the suggested solution above.
