  1. Activity Tracking for my child


    My child, who is thirteen years old, needs restrictions for Apps and Games to keep him focused in this time of remote learning. However, he seems to have found a way around it, as he figured out he could turn off Activity Tracking in his account settings. Is he supposed to be able to do this. I went in and verified that his date of birth is correct on his account and that he does indeed have the ability to turn this on and off. This is unfortunate as it takes my control away. Is this by design?

    :)

  2. Not Tracking Web Browsing Activity on Child Account

    Hello,

    I had already read that article and tried all those steps mentioned before posting on this forum. Nothing worked. I am still not able to see the web activity on my child's account.

    I have already verified that the Family Safety Service is connected to my PC and that my child has the PC listed as a device on their account. My child's account is listed as "child" on my PC account settings. When I sign into the child's account, I have
    verified that Family Safe Monitoring is running because the icon is in the task bar.

    This response was not helpful, because as I stated in my original post, I had already read several articles on troubleshooting this issue and nothing worked.

    Can you offer me other suggestions that are not mentioned in that Wiki Article?

  3. Child activity reporting

    Thank you very much. I woke up this morning and I had received an activity report from Microsoft for my child's account...her activity had started being tracked after running the "sfc scannow." Either that worked or it was just a coincidence. Regardless,
    her activity is now being tracked. Thank you very much for your help. If needed in the future, I will plan to give my child a new Microsoft account as you suggest. Best regards,

    Child Activity Report

    Hello Tareq,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

    • Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your account or to your computer prior to this?
    • Which email address did you use when you've set up the Family Safety?

    To make sure, I suggest that your follow these steps and see if it helps:

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/family
      and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Find your child's name and select Activity.
    • If Activity reporting is turned Off, use the switch to turn it
      On.

    Note: If you don't want to get weekly activity reports in your email, but still want to see your child's online activity, switch Email me weekly reports from On to Off.

    We're looking forward to your response.
