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!!!

    I hope you've found a workaround by now, but in the case of Jason's second suggestion, look for Parental Controls instead of Microsoft Family Features. That did it for me.

    WHAT WORKED FOR ME

    What I did was:

    • 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".

    The anoying pop up is no more...

    Aparently the solution was in a norwegian forum from 2015 hahaha

    Thank you Glenn Joakim.
