Hi all,
I run a Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit computer with 2 user accounts, me as Administrator and my son as a standard user.
I have Windows Family Safety set up with curfew times on my son's account. We get the warning that he will be logged out in 15 mins etc, and when the curfew time comes the screen goes blank and returns to the log on screen where you can pick the account
to login.
So what's the problem then I hear you ask?
The trouble is, whatever programs he was using at the time the curfew kicked in don't close, because as far as Windows is concerned he's still logged on and music that he was listening to etc keeps playing. Below his account icon on the screen where you
select the accounts it still says his account is "Logged In", but when you click on his icon it says "Your account has time restrictions that prevent you logging on at this time. Please try again later."
So Windows thinks he's still logged on, but Family Safety prevents him logging back in.
Why can't the system log him out properly and close down all the programs he had running when the curfew kicked in?
Family Safety is serving the purpose of kicking him off the computer at the required time and preventing use during the curfew, but it's not getting Windows 7 to actually log the account off.
