When I log in, a window opens on my desktop with "Microsoft family features" in the heading, telling me to ask for permission to use "Windows Shell Experience". My account is the adult account in my family and there should not be any Microsoft family restrictions on my account. Why am I getting this window?

    This worked for me

    Search : Add, edit or remove other people

    Select Your info

    Select verify account and follow instructions

    I've only been getting the messages since accounts on the PC were verified.  So I don't get an option to verify my account, anyway.
