Windows 10: We have an unauthorized user on our family account that gained access through my son's...

Please help us remove an unauthorized user who gained access through my son's account. Now my son's account is not listed under our family plan and I can not remove the unauthorized user as it appears he set himself as the administrator over my son's account.

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

 

I would like to add back my sons account to family safety settings UNNVeGxUyECC4aA0.37.117

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble adding your son to your family safety group. The error code you provided is not familiar to me. However, according to Microsoft Support, you can try the following steps to fix the issue:

• Make sure that your son’s account is a child account and not an adult account.
  
• Check if your son’s account is already part of another family group. If it is, then you need to remove it from that group first before adding it to your family group.
  
  - let him login to family.microsoft.com to check if he belongs to a family group or not
  
• Try adding your son’s account again after a few hours or days.
  

We hope this help. We look forward for your response!

Sincerely,

Leonardo_Y

 

Add local user account to family account

Hello Matt, I would suggest you remove your son’s account in the family and then remove the user account from the computer and then try to set up. If your child already has a user account on your PC, you can try to add them one more time to your family
