[QUOTE="Ink, post: 940229, member: 3"] Can you elaborate further on what are the kind of Alerts are being ignored? Examples: Malware sites blocked, PUA warnings... On a Windows 10 PC, the default account is generally an Admin account linked to their Microsoft ID. Based on that, you could create a new Standard User with their MS account (so they access their cloud data), and convert the default Admin to a Local account, with a stronger password (and don't give it to them). [B]However, is it unethical to withhold the admin password, as the PC belongs to them, not you?[/B] And can a local Windows Password be reset with ease? Last resort: Do not help them, if they are too stubborn to make a change. Tips: Let the PC owner pay for any licensed software. What about a Chromebook (ChromeOS)? [/QUOTE]
