Every time I turn on my computer, the "sign in Microsoft Family Features" pops up. I have tried:

  • Removing myself from family group per https://account.microsoft.com/family/home (already listed as an adult there)
  • Checking start up options (doesn't show up)
  • Looking at uninstalling Microsoft Family Features (doesn't show up)
  • Deleting the Microsoft Family Feature folder
  • Telling my firewall not to let it through

Every time I did one of these steps, I turned off and back on my computer, and still each time it persisted. Make it stop!!!

    • Press windows key+r and type taskschd.msc
    • In the left you'll see a directory, expand it and look for Microsoft\Windows\Shell folder in the library
    • Disable the tasks belonging to Family Safety, for me there were two, "FamilySafetyMonitor" and "FamilySafetyRefreshTask".

    hello, I did the first option but now when I start up my laptop and enter my password it comes back as wrong and I'm afraid I may have accidentally deleted my account? I can't even login as guess or nothing and to reset my password it says I need a USB but when I enter one it says the disc is wrong. I don't know what to do please help

    Yeah I know right. People can be so dumb but if you know how to find Youtube videos and how to research its so easy. Glad you thanked me.

    Hi, I've got the same issue, but I don't have the box that one should uncheck. Am I just dumb, or is there any possibility that I just don't have it?

    I'm on Windows 11
