Howdy guys!
I recently let my friend log into my family's local home PC with his personal Microsoft account so he could customize his Xbox Avatar using the Xbox Original Avatars App on the Microsoft store. Unfortunately the moment he logged in to the Xbox app, Windows linked his account to the whole system without warning and we were immediately greeted with the "Time for a break" screen because his account is set up with time limits using parental controls. Now I can no longer use this computer because his account is set up in a way that prevents the user from just "waiting out" the break period. In addition I can't open up Task manager, Alt F4, or do anything to kill the process that is currently causing this. I've also tried disconnecting the PC from ethernet, but that has not helped either. If possible, I'd like to either be able to unlink his account from my family's PC or create a new Local Administrator account while getting rid of the old one. If you could help me out, I would really appreciate it! (Sorry for the bad quality of the picture, I had to take it on the front camera of a cheap Chromebook).
Some helpful things to note are that:

Some helpful things to note are that:
- The PC originally had a local account with only a Microsoft account linked for use specifically in the store.
- I can't just reinstall Windows because I don't have a USB stick with a bootable Windows Install ready right now, nor can I make one because this is the only Windows PC I have available at the moment.
- There is only one account (local) on this PC
- I can't use the "Parent/guardian log in" option as Windows says that my friend's account is not a "Standard User"
- This PC is running Windows 11 23h2 (But I'm not exactly sure what build)
- The system does not officially support Windows 11
- More information about this computer specifically can be found in my System Specs 2
- Windows Build/Version
- Windows 11 23h2
