Windows 10: Microsoft Family Safety: If you can't add a device, check that the device isn't already...

The issue in Microsoft Family Safety with not being able to add a device is well-documented. For example:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-add-windows-11-device-to-family-safety/f1feb0e9-65ae-4552-b462-374ce62b8927https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/microsoft-family-safety-uanble-to-connect-device/771430bc-86c2-4577-b469-7793541b9a52The root cause for me was that the PC with the same host name was already added to the child's devices but not under Microsoft Family Safety before I wiped the PC clean and re-installed Windows 11. There was a conflict

Family Safety unlinking device doesn' t work

When I was just browsing trough the internet, I accidentally connected my laptop to my microsoft account. (I use 2 laptops and this one isn' t supposed to be connected to my account)

I have tried to search up ways to undo this, with no succes. It still shows up in my Microsoft Family Safety devices-list. I don' t know how to fix this.

It would be grately appreciated if someone could show me a way to do this.

Thanks, Sophie

 

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

The permission for this is set for each Family member and still can be toggled under each Organiser.
