  1. Family Controls not showing all installed apps


    I'm trying to set up app controls for my child's account.


    All seems to have worked, except that when I try to set individual app limits none of the installed games on the local machine show up in the list. In fact the list of installed applications seems to be the default windows apps only things like 3D viewer etc. Since I cant see the installed apps like, say, minecraft or the steam games I can't block or control them.


    On the local machine I can see all the apps installed via control panel. All the items run under my child's local account when he's logged in.


    I've tried removing and removing and re-adding the account to the family group and restarting etc. with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    :)

  2. Plex installed, but not showing up as an app in Family

    Our family shares a laptop. We all have separate accounts, each tied to a microsoft account, and I can see all the family members listed at https://account.microsoft.com/family/.

    I can block my kids' access to some apps, like Chrome, and this works fine.

    However, I use Plex on my account, but I don't want the kids to use it. But, Plex doesn't show up on the list of apps in the family safety website, so I can't block it.

    Appreciate any help.

    Best,

  3. Windows 10 Family reports not showing up

    Hello,

    Well, there are some additional steps which needs to be enabled once we are in Windows 10, that was the reason I had suggest to follow the steps from the link, but as you have mentioned that everything was setup correctly you may follow the steps and check.


    • Press Windows key + R key.

    • Type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
      Enter.

    • Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
    This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from

    familysafety.microsoft.com
    the next time you sign in.

    Let us know how it goes.
