Windows 10: Random logouts because of family settings

When I use my account that has family settings on, I will always get logged out after using my user for about 5-10 minutes, and I will have to always log back in and continue what I'm doing. I won't be logged out again after the first time, but it gets annoying.

I tried using another user without family settings and this doesn't happen. Does this have anything to do with the "Screen time" settings? How can I stop the computer from logging me out when I least expect it?

How to turn off Family safety settings

Hello Michael,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are trying to remove the family safety settings. We will help you.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps you regarding the
family safety settings.

Turn off family settings in Windows 10

• To turn off family settings for a child in your family, sign in at account.microsoft.com/family. Then choose one of these
  options:
  • Remove them from family settings by choosing Remove, then selecting their account, then selecting
    Remove again. They’ll still be able to sign in to their PCs, but this will remove any family limits that you set.
  • Or select them from the main family page, which will bring you to their Recent activity. If
    Activity reporting is turned On, turn it
    Off. Then repeat for the other settings pages (Web browsing, Apps, games & media, Screen time, Purchase & spending), making sure that those switches are turned
    Off.

Hope it helps. Keep us posted to help you better.
