Just set up a family user account for my Son with his outlook account. Its all activated but when he goes to log in with his password it says
" you must be online the first time to complete your account setup"
there is an internet connection, so what's going on? Appreciate the help. Probably a simple solution.
Hi there Krom and welcome to Ten Forums!
Did you setup his account using the same computer that he is using? (I guessing you did since I don't think this is remotely possible)
It could be that his account doesn't have internet access possibly? You could try looking into the properties of his account (i.e access/restrictions)
Are you using the Microsoft family setup (based online) or another software such as Net Nanny?
Make sure the ethernet cable is fully connected (make sure you hear a click when plugging it in), or if its wireless then turn the Wi-Fi off and on from the computer.
It could mean that you have to be online as well your Son for first time setup?
Hi there. Thank you for your reply.
Yes I set up his account on his computer. Not sure how to look at the properties of his account. There is def an internet connection when you are on the login page. I am using Microsoft family and also netnanny. I didn't have this problem before. I just deleted his account and set up new one as the screentime was playing up. It was working fine with netnanny before this. I can log in fine as administrator. Not sure what's up with it.
If it's any consolation I have similar problems with my sons acc on our laptop (but not our desktop!). Whilst he can login ok edge and IE take ages to be useable for him. Mozilla is ok though. It's as if the MS family tracking where it logs his activity is causing it to get stuck. Deleting his user account and recreating it does not fix. I just thought I'd chime in to say your not alone as it seems child accounts are problematic on Windows 10
Hi Scottyboy99
Yes I think there is a major delay when you change the settings to them actually coming into effect also. That is why I removed his account and then added him again. But this thing with him logging in is really becoming annoying. There is an internet connection so I can't see what the problem is?
I doubt it will help but I think there is another cumulative update due tomorrow. If it still plays up many people on here swear by in place / repair upgrade as a fix for issues. Personally I will try that as a last resort. I might try and get online with ms technical support and see what they can do
Yes, I would do this to if I were you Krom. Unfortunately it sounds more like a online account problem, opposed to something directly wrong with the computer.
Have you got the new version of Net Nanny? I know there is an old version that, when it is upgraded to windows 10 it starts to affect the computer. To check this make sure in the taskbar it shows a "@" sign in a shape of an "n". Not the yellow and blue icon with the blue nanny and the plug.
To download the compatible version, click here.

Thank you both for your help. I do have the new version of netnanny. I will check what the updates do and then let you both know, if they still don't work then I shall as you both suggested contact tech support. I seem to send more time on my Son's computer making sure it is safe for him rather than my own these days! I have also found that you can't block certain things on windows family safety but you can with Net nanny and things you can't block with netnanny you can with kidswatch. It seems crazy, someone should come up with software that does everything.
Thanks Krom. I would be very interested to hear how things work out for you. Like I say, I have a similar - ish problem with my son's user account. You never know, there could be a common factor. If I make any discoveries I will share them on this thread
Yep, a software that can just combine everything would be great!Thank you both for your help. I do have the new version of netnanny.

This blocks installations and basically anything you would expect you would need an administrator for.
Unless you are planning to use Family Safety for another layer of browsing security then you could do this as well. Also be aware that I'm not sure if Edge is filtered by Net Nanny, so check this as well. Wish you good luck.
