1) Try running this from an Administrator cmd prompt.
2) Try adding "" around Game Account (i.e. net user "Game Account" /time:M-F,6am-8am;M-F,3pm-5pm;M-F,8pm-10pm)
If this is helpful please accept answer.

please run the command in a
Command Promptwith elevated permission. It looks like in PowerShell it's not possible to run the command this way.----------
