Windows 10: Updating content restrictions is not working on one computer

Hi everyone,


As a parent I am using the family dashboard to only allow certain websites as a whitelist.

I've added a new website to this for the other computers we use, but on one account it will not allow the website to be accessed. On the parent dashboard it lists that computer is allowed to go to the new website but still the computer in question will not allow navigation to the site. I've tried several times, restarted the computer, etc. and it won't work. Any ideas????

:)

 

Microsoft Family content restrictions not updating

Hi,

I have (as parent) added a few websites to the 'Always blocked' list on the 'content restriction' section of my Microsoft Family account. This only seem to apply to the computer where I edited the online 'content restrictions' list. On other computers,
where I have accounts for my kids, those pages are still accessible. The computer doesn't seem to be synchronising with the online setting. How do I fix this please?

 

Microsoft content restrictions web

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that even after giving permission to access a website, the website is blocked next time.



If you wish to allow certain websites, you can add them to the Always allowed list under
Content restrictions for your sons account and this should not block the website. Refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Login to
   https://family.microsoft.com with the parent account.
   
2. Now, find your child’s name, click on More options and select
   Content restrictions.
   
3. Scroll down to Web Browsing, toggle the switch to on for
   Block inappropriate websites.
   
4. Under Always allowed, you can type in the website link for the websites you want to allow.
   

For more information, you may refer the article
Block inappropriate websites on Windows 10, Xbox One, and Android.



Similarly, you can block inappropriate apps and games that can your child can access. For more information, refer the article

Block inappropriate apps, games, and media on Windows 10 and Xbox One.

I hope the information provided by me is helpful.



Let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to help you further.

Microsoft Family shared content restriction

Thanks for the response, but this has nothing to do with what I'm asking. I know how to set content restriction for each of my children, but it becomes tedious for me to have to maintain 4 different content restriction "Only Allowed" list when that list
will be the same for all 4 children. Is there a way to share that list or export/import the list among the children within the family?
