    How to disable a user account in W10 Home?


    I know I can't access the local users and groups policy in this version, but I can't figure on how to -temporarily- disable my kid's user account so that it cannot be logged in.

    Thanks!

    EXCELLENT! Thank you so much Brink. You know, if my daughter were doing better in Math, I wouldn't need to know how to disable an account.

    You're most welcome.

    LOL, funny how it always seems to come back and punish the parent as well.

    To bad they won't do it on their own without having to be rewarded.

    It's unreal. To be fair, I'm a former Marine, so my expectations may be unreasonable of a 12 year old, but still....

    Worked perfectly by the way. Thank you again. I just loaded up CMD as administrator, typed "net user <her username> /active:no" and poof! It disappeared from the login screen!
