  1. Turning a windows 10 computer set up as an adult to a Kids computer


    I got this new computer for my 9 year olds online learning with windows 10 OS. During the initial setup I used my Microsoft account to set it up and it’s been configured as an adult computer. She had been using this for nearly 6 months now and I need to change it to a kids computer for obvious reasons. What a nightmare. Why isn’t there a magic switch with some settings ofcourse to do this. You have to have a kids account registered and then you have to reinstall all the games, apps and personel files to the new accout. And how do you copy the purchases and progress you have made in the pr

    Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

    I only saw this thread now, otherwise I would have suggested this sooner.
    I had that same problem you are having, my computer was waking-up from S3 and the culprit was my X7 mouse.
    powercfg -lastwake also listed the HID keyboard device which was an extension of the mouse.
    Besides going in device manager and setting everything to not being able to wake-up the computer from S3, I also did this to the power profiles:

    Worked for me.
