How can I connect my Win 11 device to my dad's computer for parental controls?

for the final step after restarting my dad's computer for the first time and signing in with my dad's account, do I sign in with my account after the 2nd restart. I tried everything you suggested and my desktop still isn't connected in family safety

 

How to use TightVNC for remote computer access for my Dad

If you're going to use TeamViewer then I suggest:

1. Set your own password and disable the random password (Options > Security).
2. Allow access at Windows logon (Options > Security) so you can reboot and get back in if TeamViewer is set to 'Start with Windows' (Options > General).
3. Set your Dad's wallpaper to 'solid colour' and remove the tick from the Remove remote wallpaper checkbox (Options > Remote control). That way, if he ever says a picture's appeared on his desktop then you'll be able to see it.
4. Tick the Send key combinations checkbox (Options > Remote control) so you can use things like Winkey+e at your end to start File Explorer on your Dad's PC.
5. Tick the Show your partner's cursor checkbox (Options > Remote control) so, if he asks you to change his cursor size, you'll be able to see it.
6. Tick the Automatically minimize local TeamViewer panel checkbox (Options > Advanced). Your Dad doesn't need to see this and you'll be forever minimizing it yourself manually anyway just to get it out of the way.
7. Set all this up on TeamViewer at your end first, export the settings (Options > Advanced) then use TeamViewer's transfer mode (Files & Extras > Open file transfer) to copy the export over to your Dad's PC and import them into his TeamViewer (Options > Advanced).
8. You'll still need to talk your Dad through closing the TeamViewer 'Thank you for playing fair' dialog which appears on his screen after the connection is closed. Just make sure he knows to only click on the 'OK' button (or - better still - use the X 'close' button on the far-right of the titlebar).

I've been using TeamViewer since version 4 and IMO it's by far the best solution for use with aging parents. (I use AutoHotkey as well and wrote a 4-line script to automate connection to my Dad's PC without any of the usual typing of partner ID or password at my end. Let me know if this would be of any use to you.)

Hope this helps...

Hassen, on YOUR DAD's computer, go to Settings > Accounts > Family, scroll down, and show me a screenshot. I need to see if there's a list of members listed.
