  1. How to change from child account to local account


    I have been looking for this for a while. I signed into a child account in Microsoft Family and want to change back to a local account because it's restricting me from Google I am using Microsoft Edge by the way. I have looked and cannot see a single button that says "change to a local account" I've tried everything, lusrmgr.msc, Microsoft Family Safety, and still no answer! The account isn't locked but HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS MESS?

    :)

    Can a local user be changed to a child account?

    Windows 10 Home
    ver 1909

    Hello,

    I'm trying to see if there's a way to change a local account (standard user) to a child account so it can be managed in the Microsoft Family?

    I tried to follow the steps here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...1-c8f8cca1d52f

    but there's no option for "family and other users".

    They do not have Microsoft accounts. Do I need to basically create a new child account at Windows setup?

    Any assistance appreciated.

  3. 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.
