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?

    Resetting my system files while keeping the rest of my files worked for me. Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17085/windows-8- and scroll down and select "Refresh your PC without affecting your files"

    I also got this message after resetting Windows 10 using the "remove everything" option and installing the WhatsApp browser version.

    I uninstalled the WhatsApp browser application and I do not have the error message now.

    So as someone stated, there are external applications that could cause a fault in Windows 10 when it loads during boot up, and we should be aware of them.

    Thanks.

    Hope this helps...
