Stop the Family Feature Pop Up

I need help with the same problem :( I've done what the Microsoft agent suggested, but Microsoft Families doesn't show up

I managed to get rid of it by going to the same services.msc window but instead of micorsoft family features (which wasnt there) I stopped ''Parental Controls'' and it hasnt shown up again in the last 20 minutes

I tried what you suggested.

• I pressed the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Typed "netplwiz" and pressed Enter.
• In the User Accounts window, I selected my account and there was no box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
• So I closed the User Accounts window and tried the second aproach.

I did the following.

• I pressed the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Typed "services.msc" and pressed Enter.
• In the Services window, I scrolled down and tried to locate the "Microsoft Family Features" service.
• But there was no service with that exact name.

Windows is getting worse every day, **** is this Family Features bs. I don't think I need my family to control my behaviour on my computer, mainly because I'm the only one in my family stupid enough to use Windows. Maybe I should buy a Mac like the rest of my family did years ago. Or maybe I should start using Linux, I'm seriously considering it.

Hello La Joan

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you have an issue stopping the Microsoft Family features pop-up when turning on the computer. Let’s work together in finding the best resolution to this issue.

To stop the Microsoft Family Features pop-up from appearing every time you turn on your computer, you can try the following steps:

• Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Type "netplwiz" and press Enter.
• In the User Accounts window, select your account and uncheck the box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
• Click Apply and enter your password if prompted.
• Restart your computer and check if the pop-up still appears.

If the above steps do not work, you can try disabling the Microsoft Family Features service by following these steps:

• Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Type "services.msc" and press Enter.
• In the Services window, scroll down and locate the "Microsoft Family Features" service.
• Right-click on the service and select Properties.
• Change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click Apply.
• Restart your computer and check if the pop-up still appears.

We look forward to your next response.
