I'm unable to change the family settings on standard account even though I am the administrator

I am the administrator and want to change the settings for games/ratings on my son's standard user account, but it won't let me... Very frustrating!

He returns constantly with the message: unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, consult your system administrator

I have read many previous posts on this issue, but it seems that nobody has provided a solution that I can find!

Hi TeenaWilson,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for the query display. Looks like you are not able to modify the parental control on a standard account.

Try these steps and check:

Method 1:

Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result.

See: How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-user-account-control-by-using-the-slider

Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

Method 2:

Step 1:

I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.

Create a user account

Step 2:

If the problem persists not in the new user account, try and fix the damaged user account, follow the link below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

Method 3:

I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if TI the problem persists. To do this, please see the following article.

The SFC/SCANNOW command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow the following link:

Check out the link below to check if the parental control is correctly defined

Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions feel free to respond and we will be happy to help you.

    You cannot use a Standard (Local) account to change the administrator account. You can only use an administrator for this account.

    Open the control panel (place the cursor on the bottom/left corner of the screen... and right click, select Control Panel from the menu

    In Control Panel, select user accounts.

    Select Manage another account.

    This will show all the user accounts on the computer. If there is an administrator account, it will show this designation.

    To log off and log on with an administrator account.

    Back to the account user/screen control.

    Select Manage another account , then select the Standard account you want to change.

    Select the option Change the account Type .

    Select the administrator option to change the account and click Change the account Type .

    If there is no other administrator account, let know us and we can try another method of recovery.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unable to change the apn settings

    Hello

    on two storms 9500, we can change the apn via the options-> advanced settings-> tcp/ip options.

    But on two other storm 9500, it is not possible to do the same. These phones are used with different SIM cards than the old ones, on which you can change the apn settings.

    Is it possible that this is due to the limited access rights Simcard?

    The provider is Vodafone Germany for all SIM cards.

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try this-

    Assuming that the device changing APN and APN = A don't change not device = B

    Insert card SIM of the unit one type in the device of type B and B types SIM in a device of type. This will allow you to know what exactly the origin of the problem.
