    Family Safety, app don't stay locked are keep time limits after set


    I block certain apps from the family safety, and in less then 24 hours they are all back to default. nothing is blocked.

    They worked for a moment, even after restarting the machine

    Windows 10 Family Safety: Time limits and screen locking

    I recently set up my son's computer with family safety, and I have him limited to 3 hours of total screen time per weekday. I have told him that when he gets up to go outside, eat, or whatever to lock his computer - but it appears that the time he's away is counting toward his total time as well, which defeats the purpose of screen locking IMO. I've scoured Microsoft and the forums to see if screen lock time counts toward computer time in the family safety feature, but have found absolutely nothing. Does anyone out there know for sure, and if so can you post references?
    Thanks.
