I guess your kid is going to "Hate" PC's and complain about them just as much as you do when his older, ya know since you have him off to a good start already..

Like i said and ill say it again. Out of everyone on this site who is a PC gamer you seem to be the most unlucky (Now including your family it seems) person/people when it comes to PC's.

I guess it would have nothing to do with the fact your mainly a console gamer who likes to complain about PC's, while all the ones who doesnt seem to have as many constant problems and complaints with PC's on this site as you are mainly PC gamers who use consoles as secondary devices or dont use consoles at all..

Its almost like "Hey look i own a shitty old laptop, so im a PC Gamer i can now complain about PC's every chance i get" type of attitude. Kinda like a Xbox gamer or PC gamer who gets/has a PS3/4 so he can complain about the PS5 as much as he wants ya know since he is a PS gamer.. After awhile their complaints become old and clearly biased.

Nice theory, apart from the fact I hated consoles, tried to return the ps1 after trying TR2 on it and seeing how much worse it was than on PC. (The Netherlands doesn't do hardware returns, at least not in the 90s)

So you can blame it on 'Fame Megastore' on the Dam that refused to take the thing back, then it slowly won me over. Enough so that I spend 1200 guilders when the ps2 released. It still took until 2008 to change my primary method of playing video games.

It's not an old laptop, barely 3 years old. It is shitty already tough, but I probably cooked it during 3,000 hours of FS2020, keeping the thing at 80c and above. I just haven't replaced it yet since I see no reason why.

Anyway thanks for the reminder. It didn't work yet yesterday (still please try again later) but today I could remove my child's consent, remove him and myself from the family group. Gone with that stuff. Except now we're back to the original problem. He can't sign in, win 11 says he needs consent. You can skip it but it's saying it has to be done before July 11 (or else?) and other things won't work now. "There is a problem with your Microsoft account"

How can he use his computer without getting hassled. It worked on Windows 10.
Do you have any constructive advice since you seem to have luck with pc...

WTF????

Your account has been locked We've detected some activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement and have locked your account. Yeah MS is not winning me over anytime soon.

And back to waiting on support as my landline cannot receive text messages to unlock the account.



And now it's fixed, but no clue how. After unblocking the account it now no longer asks for consent and it let me install stuff on his laptop.
Anyway, not a lot time lost today, been a good Microsoft day. Now I have a Watkins Glen race to catch on GT7 :)
(I guess we'll find out in 2 weeks, might just be the 'skip for now' period that makes it work, nobody knows)
