Windows 10: Chrome is blocked by Family Safety, but I never enabled it. How do I fix this?

Dear Microsoft Support Team, I am experiencing an issue with Microsoft Family Safety on Windows that I hope you can assist me with. Until now, I have been able to use Google Chrome without any restrictions, and I have never activated Family Safety features on my account. However, when I attempted to open Chrome today, I received a message stating that I need permission to use the application. I am not part of a family group, nor have I set up any parental controls. I would like to understand why this restriction has suddenly appeared and how to remove it so I can continue using my browser wi

:)

 

Family Safety Not Blocking Websites on Google Chrome

Family safety has suddenly stopped blocking any website on the blocked list when using Google Chrome. It still blocks them on Microsoft Edge but Edge additionally blocks Google websites such as Gmail and Google Docs even though they are on the allowed list.

I have tried removing and adding back the account but it did not help. Any advice on fixing this issue will be much appreciated.

 

Block chrome and extensions on family safety

This does not allow one to block Chrome, which must be done for the Family safety to work. Have you fixed this yet? People have been asking for this fix for almost a year now!

 

Block chrome and extensions on family safety

Hi Palango,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

You can try to block those extensions and chrome.

Manage family settings:

Refer the steps below.

• 
  Go to
  account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  
• 
  Select the child whose settings you want to manage from the list of children in your Family. If your kids also use Family Safety on older versions of Windows, or My Family on older Windows phones, you’ll see them listed per device.
  
• 
  Choose what to turn on or change for your child's account:
  

• 
  Recent activity allows you to see what websites they've been visiting, what apps and games they've been using, and how much time they've been spending on their devices.
  
• 
  Web browsing lets you choose what websites your child can and can't see.
  
• 
  Apps & games allows you to limit the apps and games your child can download from the Windows Store. It also lets you unblock any app or game you’ve blocked previously.
  
• 
  Screen time allows you to set the maximum amount of time they can spend on their devices.
  

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us we will be happy to assist you.
