Windows 10: My son is still logging in using the same account on his PC but he has done something to...

My sons account on his computer is a USER account so he can't create new users, I am the admin. I have checked and his user account still has the same email that is linked on Microsoft Family. For a few weeks now, his time limits are not working and it is showing no screentime or web activity even though he is on. What could he have done to bypass these limits?

adding PC to son's list of devices on microsoft account

Hello My whole family is listed under family in microsoft. However, my son's account only lists the xbox as his device. I would like to add my PC to his list as well but I can't see how to do it. I've tried logging out of my entire computer settings
and logging him in but computer won't let me log him in as administrator of computer so I can't do it that way. Can you please let me know how to do this? I want to let both kids have the PC as a device so they can play together--one on Xbox and one on
PC thank you

 

administrator change from me to my son on laptop I bought for him

If your son has an account on the laptop already:

• Go to Control Panel (Windows + X keys together and choose Control Panel from the resulting menu)
• Select User Accounts - Manage Another Account
• Select your son's account and set its type to Administrator
• If you want to delete your own account, close Control Panel, log out, log in under your son's account, go to the same place in Control Panel, Manage Accounts and delete your old account

If your son does not have an account on the laptop:

• Go to Control Panel (Windows + X keys together and choose Control Panel from the resulting menu)
• Select User Accounts - Manage Another Account - Add a new User in PC Settings
• In Settings select 'Family and other People', then 'Add someone else to this PC'
• Create a new account for your son, if you wan you can skip the step to enter your son's email address by clicking 'I don't have this persons Sign-in Information' - 'Add a User without a Microsoft Account'
• Enter your Son's Name and Password if required, set account type as administrator
• If you want to delete your own account, close Control Panel, log out, log in under your son's account, go to the same place in Control Panel, Manage Accounts and delete your old account
