    Family options blocking other browsers


    There is a family safety option blocking browsers other than edge. it is disabled, however somehow still impacts my laptop though without anyone in the family making a change to the setting and it being turned off on website and app. im not able to access for example firefox even though i should be. the bug has persisted with a different laptop beforehand, changing laptops had me thinkit to be fixed but now it came up again. enableing and disabling the setting did not help.

    :)

    Windows 10 Family Safety is blocking my browser!!!

    Can you confirm if you are out of the Family Safety feature on your parent's account on this
    link? If you've confirmed that you're no longer on the list of monitored child accounts, we suggest deleting the Family Safety folder. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows key + E on your keyboard.
    • On the address bar, type this address C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
      Enter.
    • Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
    • Restart and see if the issue is resolved.

    Let us know how it went for you.

    Add Back to Block Chrome Browser in Family Setting for a child

    So, this document does not explain how to add Chrome back to the blocked browser list. When you go to the content restrictions page under the age steetings it provides a complete list of Blocked Browsers. I had removed Chrome from the list previously and
    now i want to add Chrome back to the list. There is no add option showing. Only allows a browser to be removed.
