Are you sure no one pranked you adding your account as their kid? They just need to have access to your computer for a couple minutes to do it. As a parent, you can of course limit what the child uses, even if they have admin rights on the computer. Edge works on Microsoft Family "child" accounts because everything the kid browses on Edge gets logged and parents can see it.

@jimmyscene Just looked it up, might get it. Of course, I would have to test it on a VM first, but, looks neat.
I FINALLY GOT CHROME BACK!!! A few weeks ago, my computer, for no reason, said I couldn't use chrome due to Microsoft Family features, despite me not having a Microsoft Family setup. I have been using edge for weeks. Pray for my sanity.
The solution, was to create a new Microsoft account and run chrome as that. But, it does bring up the interesting topic of how much Microsoft sucks. They do this all the time, they look at something that doesn't need meddling with, like my right to use my property and my apllications, and release some garbage they didn't test without thinking of the implications. Did anyone ever as Microsoft for a way to manage your family forcefully? No. Because, if you cared enough, I'm sure you could just download a stupid family app, rather than let Microsoft take hostage of your computers.
One thing really interesting to me was that Firefox nor chrome worked, but edge could launch just fine. A little suspicious, don't ya think, Microsoft?
