How do I unlink a family member Microsoft account from my laptop running Windows 10? Family member used my laptop and now their email account shows up under my profile instead of mine.

Family members user accounts


For some reason the native photos app has got broken on my wife and sons user accounts (both standard accounts). I cannot fix it. On my own administrator account it works fine. There was a recent photos app update which I think is what screwed it up! Anyway I tested creating a test user account and the photos app works fine if a new account gets created. So I was thinking of deleting both their MS user accounts on my PC and creating them again.

But do I need to remove them as family members also via my outlook website login family tab before I recreate their user accounts again, they are both listed as family members on there and are associated with the PC name. Or can I just delete their user accounts and re-add them as family members on my PC without these shenanigans. It would save time as when you create a family member normally you have to then get them to login to their email and accept etc.

thanks, wayne

 

Windows Hello won't work for a family member account

• Have you applied a group policy? If yes, you may check this article on
  how to resolve the issue.
  • No group policy applied
• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
  • It’s a new computer. As soon as I created my administrator account I created a family account for my wife. Everything else works on her account but Windows Hello does not work (the camera).
• What is the exact error message?
  • I attempted to attach screen shots of each step we have gone through but it would accept Word or PDF files. Is there another way I can get them to you?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve this?
  • I deleted her family member account, created a PC account (with the same results), deleted the PC account and recreated the family member account. No luck with her Windows Hello.

There is a possibility that the family member account/profile that you have created is corrupted/damaged. We suggest that you try re-configuring the profile.
(Already did that)

 

adding a family member to my MS account

My husband and I have always shared one family email address that is used for both of us. In setting up a new PC this past week, I have tried to add him as a "Family" member to my account but I seem to be working in a "circle". I go through the process
of adding a family member to my MS account; I receive the email to confirm; I go back to the MS website and "accept" and when it says to sign out so that the new family member can sign in - when he uses our joint email address to sign in, of course it is just
me signing in again and not a new family member. We both use the same email; we both share the same uploaded pictures so we are fine with the exact same desktop configurations. But how do I add him if he uses the same email as I do?
