error unable to change parental controls

I am attempting to reinstate parental controls on a user account. I receive
an error unable to make changes to parental control settings. See
administrator. I am the administrator. I have done the fix of cmd adding an
administrator, I have done the sfc scannow, I've deleted the user with the
problem and added a new one. Nothing has worked. Other than third party
software, is there any fix for this bug?

Have your children "got" at it ? ( played with the settings ? )

Nope, it was me, all me!!! I had taken off the parental controls when my
daughter had some work to do that was just too difficult to do with the
controls on. When I went to put them back, I got the message "unable to make
changes to parental control settings. If the problem persists see your
system administrator". I am the administrator! I do have parental controls
on my other childrens' user, they still work and allow me to make changes,
but not on any other or new user. If you have any other suggestions I'd be
happy to try them.
Thanks!

I could not find user accounts after going into manage. Is my computer the
same thing as computer under the start button?

You need to go into Control Panel... you'll find what you need right
there.

I know where to go for the user accounts under control panel. I could not
find what the previous post suggested about going into safe mode, right
clicking my computer, etc. Under control panel and user accounts I continue
to get the error about unable to make changes to parental controls.

You couldn't find it because the previous post (or the person who made
it) was full of poop.

I'm clueless why you can't make the changes. Sorry.
