Windows 10: My Family's Account is "Unavailable", my kids can't log on to their laptops!

Nothing changed, everything was working this afternoon. My son did some chores, came back, asked if he could have more time. I open the Family Safety App, I get an upside-down ice cream cone with an error to try again. I log online, same error. I try to log on to the laptop itself, same error. You have effectively disabled THREE laptops and are doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix it. Can't log in directly on the laptop with ANY OTHER profile or create a new account. Can't authorize more time it should not even be off. Can't access the family safety tabs to ANYTHING helpful, not on the app,

Kids user accounts and family settings


Thanks for the links.

I want to create the kids family accounts but it forces you to assign /create an email even after selecting no email . then trying to enter something that is similar to their name doesnt work either as i get errors 'part of reserved domain' even when i put total random characters.

All i want to do is add the existing local kids accounts to the family list but it doesn't let me do that without assigning them an email? Is this correct?

This new MS stuff sucks its just not that straightforward and they are trying to force you into email accounts when you dont want one.

 

Kids user accounts and family settings


Ive upgraded from Win 8 to Win 10.

I had 2 adult local accounts and 2 kids local accounts. I also have the 1 Microsoft account.

I don't want to use the Microsoft account signin on my laptop I want to use my local.

Is there a way to assign the existing local kids accounts to family without having to create new ones ? The kids are worried that if I do this they will lose their existing apps/game settings on the local accounts.

 

My kid logs into the kids account and just removes himself from the family.

Original Title: Parental Controls bypass.

I set up a kids account on windows 10 with time limits. My kid logs into the kids account and just removes himself from the family. This bypasses the parental controls I set up. How do I prevent this?
