  1. Content restrictions not working for a child account in Microsoft Family Safety


    So i have a 12 y/o account on my microsoft "family".

    In the Family section of my microsoft account, I have the childs account activated and i have blocked inappropriate websites toggle on. Toggling this switch will block adult content and enable safesearch according to the text by the toggle. But when i go to the child's account, i can disable safesearch. I am unable to download other browsers which is good but on edge i can go incognito and easily see all the **** the world.

    How can i fix this?


    Windows 10 user.

  2. Microsoft family safety settings is not working with one child account.

    Original Title[Microsoft Family problem]

    Hi,

    I have 4 kids accounts in my family. One of them is not working with the family safety setting (the time restriction is not working).

    The account was added as child, the kid accepted the invitation and is listed as a child in my Microsoft account.

    The kid account is 'standard' and still it does not work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

  3. Windows 10 Family safety - child can disable all feature, why?

    Hi,

    There may be a sync issue with the restrictions that has been applied to the child account. To isolate your concern regarding Family Safety, we recommend that you follow these steps:

    • Remove the Child account on the Family Safety website.
    • Change the passwords of your account.
    • Add the Child account again.
    • Add the restrictions to the Child account again.

    Keep us updated with the results if your child will still be able to turn off the Family Safety feature after performing the steps above.

    Microsoft family safety settings is not working with one child account.

    Hi Sharon,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    This issue can be caused by sync issue with your computer and the Family Safety website. To troubleshoot this, please try to re-configure your child account by following these steps:



    1. Remove the child via Family Safety website.

    a. Sign in to
    https://familysafety.microsoft.com
    using the parent account.

    b. Click on Manage the list of Family members.

    c. Check the child account, then click Delete. Click again on
    Delete to confirm.



    2. Follow the steps in this article to reconfigure Family Safety:

    3. Ensure that you have selected the Manage settings in Family Safety website
    option on the Family Safety window on your Control panel.



    If issue still persists, I suggest you to delete all contents under
