    Windows 11 - UWF blocking web browsing


    Hello, I'm trying to use UWF with Windows 11, but when I enable it it blocks Edge and Chrome browsing. If I disable UWF no issues. With UWF enabled I can log in to Teams and ping Internet addresses so it is not an Internet connection problem. What do I need to check? Where can I find relevant logs?

    :)

    To block or allow specific websites

    If there are specific websites that you want to explicitly block or allow, follow these steps. This setting overrides any ratings the site may have.

  3. child account/in private browsing

    Hi Brian,

    I understand your concern, turn on web browsing limits if you want to block sites that provide adult content, or to allow or block individualwebsites or web pages by using their web addresses
    or URLs. For young children, you can set up web browsing limits, so they can only visit a small number of sites that you have specifically allowed.

    To set up web browsing limits

    • Sign in to
      family on the Microsoft account website.

    • Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.

    • Select Web browsing, and switch
      Block inappropriate websites from Off to
      On
      .

      Now, adult content is blocked and
      SafeSearch is on when your child uses the most common search engines.

    • If you want your child to only see websites that you’ve explicitly allowed, tick the checkbox next to
      Only see websites on the allowed list.
    To allow or block specific websites

    • Sign in to
      family on the Microsoft account website.

    • Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.

    • Select Web browsing.

    • To add a site to their allow list, go to
      Always allow these and enter the URL of a website that you want to allow.

    • To add a site to their block list, go to
      Always block these and enter the URL of a website that you want to block.
    Hope this information is helpful

    Windows 11 - UWF blocking web browsing

    Nokia E7 web browsing issues

    Hi!



    There are a couple of problems with otherwise great browsing:



    • Reading web sites like m.hs.fi (newspaper) where the whole of text block (title and text body) is web link, it is very difficult to browse the page upwards or downwards by swiping without activating the links
      (resulting in downloading a linked article and moving there).
    • Controlling the font size of web pages from browser options does not work on most of the web pages I read (m.hs.fi,
      m.kauppalehti.fi, for example) only a few allow this (such as
      m.yle.fi,
      www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile
      ).
    • How to get the bookmarks be the start page? I mean the local file, not storing the bookmarks to the web?
