    Child account name changed to my name

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To have a clarity on the issue, please reply with the following details:



    • When you say, “I made the selection to sign in to her Microsoft account using my Microsoft log in” do you mean that you used your Microsoft account to login to the PC?

    • Where exactly the name has been changed for the child account? Are you seeing the name changed in Microsoft Family when you log in to
      https://account.microsoft.com?
    • What happens when you try to change the name for the child account?
    • Are you referring to the name displayed on the log in screen of the computer?.


    If you are referring to change the Display name for the Microsoft account for your child, please refer the steps in the article

    How to change your Microsoft account display name     and see if that helps.



    Please get back to us with the details to assist you further.



    Regards,

    Child account

    I did set up a Child account, I did fallow all the steps window ask, the account say that the child is in the family, when I tried to log, give me the message "The Profile Service service Failed The Sign-in. User Profile cannot be loaded".

    Answering your questions:

    • Did you make any changes to the child account prior to the issue? No, I did not make any changes.
    • Since when you are facing this issue? Right from the start. I never got to login.
    • Are you able to login with other child accounts on the computer? No
    I suggest you to restart the computer once and check if you are able to login to the computer. I did, the same problem, I do not have any problem with my account or my wife.

    Thank you for your help.

    David.

    Name Change on child's account

    Child Account Get Greyed Out


    Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

    I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

    On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.
