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.

 

How to change from child account to local account

Please try the following steps to remove the child account and use your local account:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your Windows computer. You can do this by clicking on the "Start" button and selecting the gear icon, or by pressing the Windows key + I on your keyboard.

2. In the Settings window, click on "Accounts."

3. In the left sidebar, select "Family & other users."

4. Under "Your family," check if the child account you want to remove is listed. If the account is no longer associated with the family or if you have already successfully removed it, it may not be visible.

5. If the child account is still listed, you can try unlinking it from the family by following these steps:

- Open the Microsoft Edge web browser.

- Go to the Microsoft Family account management page at family.microsoft.com.

- Sign in with the account of the family organizer.

- Locate the child account you want to remove and select the appropriate option to unlink it from the family.

6. Restart your computer after unlinking the child account from the family.

After restarting, you should be able to log in again using your previous local account and have full access to the system features.

Please note that the process of unlinking the child account may vary depending on the specific configuration of Microsoft Family on your computer. If you cannot find the unlinking option or if you still encounter issues, you may need to contact Microsoft support for personalized assistance.

 

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.
