Windows 10: Second user can't sign in to Windows 11

I have an HP laptop with Windows Home 11. I have set up my personal account and it seems to be working well. However, when I try to add and sign in with my child's new Microsoft account, it doesn't work.My child has never logged into a Windows computer before, but she is part of my Microsoft Family group. When I'm logged with my Microsoft account to the laptop, I see her in tbe Accounts > Family list, and I changed her settings to "Allow sign in". Then, after I log out, at the sign-in screen, I click on her account, and then "Sign in". A small spinning circle appears next to the mouse arrow

Second user can't sign in to Windows 11

Hello, this is Emily.

Can you confirm if this is how you added your child's user in Windows 11?

Settings > Accounts > Family, click on the drop down next to your child's listing and choose "Allow sign in"?

If that's not how you did it, you will need to do it this way.

If you've done it that way but it won't sign in, there are two things I would like to review before we move to potential solutions:

1. Hold down Windows + R keys, type in netplwiz and hit enter, when launched, does it list your child's email in addition to yours?

2. Hold down Windows + R keys, type in sysdm.cpl and hit enter. Then go to Advanced tab, click on Settings button at the User profile secton. Does it list anything that looks like your child's user profile? Can be just the first 5 letters of your child's email address.

Let me know.

Thanks!

 

how can I set up a second user on Windows 10

Perform the steps to create a second local user account in your system :-

1. Select the Start button, select Settings > Accounts and then select Family & other users. (In some editions of Windows
   you'll see Other users.)
2. Select Add someone else to this PC.
3. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.

4. Enter a user name, password, password hint or choose security questions, and then select Next.

If you want to make this local user as Administrator then please perform these steps :-

1. Under Settings > Accounts > Family & other users, select the account owner name, then select Change account type.
2. Under Account type, select Administrator and OK.
3. Sign in with the new administrator account.

Thank You.
