Windows 10: Blocking Youtube app using MS Family settings Windows 10 Home

Hello,


I am using MS family settings to block access to sites such as youtube.com, however, the MS Family settings does not display the Youtube app as an application, so while I am able to block access to the site, Youtube can still be watched via the app.

Question,

What is the process to ensure MS Family settings including the MS Family App, displays ALL applications present on a linked device?

:)
