Question

Child Accounts Windows 10 Home and Updates

Aug 9, 2019 12:05PM PDT

I am wondering about setting up different accounts on a Windows 10 Home machine. Let's say that I wanted to create a child account. What happens when the computer wants to restart and update while a child is using the computer? It seems that there is a checkmark that says, "Allow all users to install updates on this computer." Would they be prompted to enter an admin account password before shutting down? If they couldn't enter the password, what would happen? If the updates failed, could an admin. go in and reinstall the updates?

Thanks.

Rob
