  1. My account is setup wrong and now I’m limited on my laptop.


    I created this account last year for my child under 10 to play Minecraft and forgot about it. We bought a laptop and I used this account, because it’s the only one I know of, to set it up. Now my laptop has a 2 hour restriction on it and I can’t change the birthdate of my account to my birthday I’m over 40. How do I fix this? Also, I don’t have a guardian account that’s I know of to be able to change the restrictions of this account. I don’t know of any other account.

    :)

  2. OOBE Loop. Cannot create account during setup of new ASUS laptop.

    Recently received a new, never used ASUS ZenBook 14 (ASUS UX433F) and am trying to get it setup for an employee. I'm getting stuck in a loop and not able to create an account, either via Microsoft sign in or via a local account. Here's what I'm seeing:

    • When going through the OOBE, I get to the Sign in with Microsoft screen. I sign in (and have verified the username and password several times) and get a message "Oops, something went wrong. We can't add your Microsoft account to this device right now, but it's okay. We'll help you setup, and you can sign in later in settings.

      I've tried being connected both wirelessly and via ethernet.
    • I've tried the local option. When connected via ethernet, I add username, password and security questions, then, after a moment, get "Something went wrong." and am back at the "Who's going to use this PC?" screen.
    • When trying the local option NOT connected via ethernet, I add username, password and security questions, then, after a moment, get "Something went wrong." and get OOBELOCAL error.

    It seems that no matter what I try, I can't get Windows setup on the new machine.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  3. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
